What is Cinnamic Aldehyde CAS 104-55-2?
Cinnamaldehyde (CAS 104-55-2), as a highly efficient and multifunctional compound of natural origin, is irreplaceable in the fields of food preservation, medical health, daily chemical flavoring and agricultural antibiotic substitution due to its unique antibacterial properties, flavoring ability and metabolic regulatory effects.
⚠️ Pay attention to its oxidative sensitivity and irritability; use strict protection during operation; For industrial procurement, priority should be given to Wuhan Nengmaike (for feed/petroleum use) or Guangzhou Daily Chemical (food grade). For scientific research purposes, TCI high-purity reagents are recommended. There is still room for innovation in the future in the directions of green synthesis (catalyst-free condensation) and sustained-release microcapsule technology.
Cinnamic Aldehyde CAS 104-55-2 Use
Food industry
Spices: GB 2760 approved synthetic spices for food use, for confectionery (700ppm), chewing gum (4900ppm), meat (60ppm) and baked goods (180ppm).
Preservatives: Fruit impregnation/fruit paper wrapping for preservation (residue ≤0.3mg/kg), inhibiting fungi such as Aspergillus flavus (MIC 0.02-0.07μl/ml).
Medicine and Health
Antibacterial and antifungal: Highly effective against Gram-positive bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as deep fungi (MIC 0.1-0.3μl/ml).
Metabolic regulation: Promote insulin sensitivity (control blood sugar), inhibit fat breakdown (prevent and treat diabetes).
Other functions: Anti-ulcer, vasodilation, analgesic, anti-cancer (inhibiting SV40 virus tumors) and aphrodisiac effects.
Daily chemicals and spices
Fixative: It is used in soap essences (gardenia, rose notes), cosmetics and toothpaste, providing a long-lasting pungent fragrance.
Microcapsule technology: Enhances antibacterial stability, sustained-release for preservative products.
Agriculture and Feed
Feed antibiotic replacement: Promotes nitrogen retention (+7%) and improves meat quality; Prevent and control bacterial diarrhea in poultry and livestock.
Plant protection: Insecticidal spray (to kill Aedes mosquito larvae), fruit preservation and quality improvement.
Industry and Chemical Engineering
Intermediates: Synthesis of cinnamic acid, cinnamyl alcohol, α -bromocinnamaldehyde, etc.
Petroleum additives: Replace glutaraldehyde as a bactericide and algaecide to reduce extraction costs.
