Description

• General description: Cinnamaldehyde is an α,β-unsaturated aromatic aldehyde that can be used as a flavoring agent.[1] It is the principal flavor component of cinnamon oil.[2][3]
• Application: Preparation and sustained-release of chitosan-alginate bilayer microcapsules containing aromatic compounds with different functional groups.: This research discusses the development of chitosan-alginate bilayer microcapsules for the sustained release of aromatic compounds, including cinnamaldehyde, highlighting their potential applications in biochemistry and drug delivery (Wang et al., 2024).Evaluation of Antimicrobial and Preservative Effects of Cinnamaldehyde and Clove Oil in Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Fillets Stored at 4 °C.: This study evaluates the antimicrobial and preservative effects of cinnamaldehyde in combination with clove oil on catfish fillets, indicating its potential for food preservation applications (Ebirim and Long, 2024).Hyaluronic acid-based multifunctional bio-active coating integrated with cinnamaldehyde/hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex for fruit preservation.: This research presents a hyaluronic acid-based bio-active coating incorporating cinnamaldehyde for fruit preservation, demonstrating its potential in extending the shelf life of perishable goods (Zhou et al., 2024).
