Cinnamic Aldehyde

Cinnamic Aldehyde (Cinnamaldehyde)
Cinnamic Aldehyde, commonly known as Cinnamaldehyde, is a naturally occurring aromatic aldehyde responsible for the characteristic warm, sweet-spicy cinnamon aroma. It is the principal active component of Cinnamon Bark Oil (Cinnamomum zeylanicum / Cinnamomum cassia) and is widely used across flavour, fragrance, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
Highly valued for its strong olfactory impact and excellent blending properties, Cinnamic Aldehyde is a key building block in spicy, oriental, and gourmand formulations. It is available in natural (plant-derived) as well as nature-identical grades depending on application requirements.
At NATGREEN INGREDIENTS, we supply Cinnamic Aldehyde with consistent quality, reliable sourcing, and complete technical documentation suitable for domestic and export markets.
