Application:
1). Flavoring Agent: Widely used in baked goods, candies, and chewing gum to impart characteristic cinnamon aroma.
2). Preservative: Exhibits antimicrobial properties effective against foodborne pathogens (e.g., E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus), extending shelf life.
3). Fragrance Component: Incorporated into perfumes, soaps, and shampoos for warm, woody notes.
4). Antimicrobial Agent: Used in toothpaste and mouthwash formulations to combat oral pathogens.
5). Antifungal/Antibacterial Activity: Studies indicate effectiveness against Candida albicans and other microbes, suggesting potential for topical anti-infective formulations.
6). Insect Repellent: Demonstrates repellency against mosquitoes (e.g., Aedes aegypti), making it suitable for natural insect-repellent products.
7). Biopesticide: Acts as a plant-derived insecticide for controlling stored-product pests (e.g., rice weevils).
8). Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing cinnamic acid, cinnamyl alcohol, and other flavor/fragrance derivatives.
