Cinncloval Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Cinnamaldehyde ethylene glycol acetal has a soft, warm, spicy odor reminiscent of cinnamon; sweet, spicy cinnamon– allspice flavor.

Uses

This acetal is used in flavor compositions such as Allspice, Cassia, Cinnamon, Clove and various Spice blends, etc. Concentration is usually very small (a few ppm. ) in the finished product. Under distinctly acid conditions (pickles, etc. ), the acetal will decompose and act as Cinnamic aldehyde. This will change the flavor effect of the composition. However, this acetal is moderately stable under mildly acid conditions.

Preparation

From cinnamic aldehyde and ethylene glycol.
