Cinnamaldehyde

Описание

Cinnamic aldehyde is used as a flavoring agent, ingredient of fragrance in soft drinks, ice creams, dentifrices, pastries, chewing-gum, etc. It can induce both contact urticaria and delayed-type reactions. It can be implicated in contact dermatitis in those who work in the perfume industry or food handlers. Cinnamic aldehyde is contained in the "fragrance mix".

Химические свойства

Cinnamaldehyde exists as yellowish to greenish-yellow oily liquid with a Strong pungent, spicy, cinnamon odor. It is normally insoluble in water and many organic solvents but is miscible with alcohol and other flavoring oils. Exposure to air will result in thickening and oxidation.

Cinnamaldehyde (cinnamic aldehyde, benzylideneactaldehyde, phenylacrolein, 3-phenylpropenal, 3-phenyl-2-propenal) is a saturated aldehyde with an aromatic ring that is a yellowish, oily liquid at room temperature. It is used as a flavoring and aromatic agent in a variety of food products, perfumes, and household products. It has also seen use as a rubber reinforcing agent. A burning taste that produces the odor and flavor of the spice may be found with this aromatic aldehyde. Cinnamaldehyde has also been used as an attractant for insect control, in the preparation of corrosion inhibitors, and as a coating for metals. Although extensively used in industry, it is also a natural constituent of cinnamon leaves and bark, some essential oils, and other plant products.

Угроза здоровью

Cinnamaldehyde can cause moderate to severeskin irritation. Exposure to 40 mg in48 hours produced a severe irritation effecton human skin. The toxicity of this compoundwas low to moderate on test subjects,depending on the species and the toxicroutes. However, when given by oral routein large amounts, its poisoning effect wassevere. Amounts greater than 1500 mg/kghave produced a wide range of toxic effectsin rats, mice, and guinea pigs. The symptomswere respiratory stimulation, somnolence,convulsion, ataxia, coma, hypermotility, anddiarrhea.
LD50 value, oral (guinea pigs): 1150 mg/kg
Cinnamaldehyde is a mutagen. Its carcinogeniceffect is not established.

Пожароопасность

Cinnamaldehyde is combustible.

Контактные аллергены

This perfumed molecule is used as a fragrance in perfumes, a flavoring agent in soft drinks, ice creams, dentifrices, pastries, chewing-gum, etc. It can induce both contact urticaria and delayed-type reactions. It can be responsible for dermatitis in the perfume industry or in food handlers. Cinnamic aldehyde is contained in “fragrance mix.” As a fragrance allergen, it has to be mentioned by name in cosmetics within the EU.

Несовместимости

Aldehydes are frequently involved in selfcondensation or polymerization reactions. These reactions are exothermic; they are often catalyzed by acid. Aldehydes are readily oxidized to give carboxylic acids. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of aldehydes with azo, diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. Aldehydes can react with air to give first peroxo acids, and ultimately carboxylic acids. These autoxidation reactions are activated by light, catalyzed by salts of transition metals, and are autocatalytic (catalyzed by the products of the reaction). The addition of stabilizers (antioxidants) to shipments of aldehydes retards autoxidation. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides, ketones, azo dyes, caustics, boranes, hydrazines
