introduction | natural ethyl cinnamic acid exists in Elaeagnus angustifolia flower and natural Suhe fragrance with fruit-like aroma, clear and sweet atmosphere and oriental flavor. It is better combined with fragrant purple bacteria and natural fruit essential oil, and is better used in fragrant powder, perfume and essence. It can also be used in edible bayberry flavors. The breath is clear and sweet with oriental flavors. Synthetic cinnamate is mainly used as a spice for food and cosmetics. Ethyl cinnamate can be used as a fixative and thickener for flavors. It can also be added to cigarette tobacco, used as a flavoring agent and aroma compensation agent; to compensate for the aroma of cigarettes, to meet the consumer's new requirements for higher cigarette taste. |
Use | Ethyl cinnamate exists in natural Stylea and has a fruit-like aroma. It has a better effect when combined with fragrant purple bacteria and natural fruit essential oil, such as It is better in fragrant powder, perfume and essence. It is widely used in roses, oranges, narcissus, dragon birthday fragrance, amber fragrance, vegetarian orchid and other fragrances. It can also be used as soap spices. It can coordinate other paste fragrances in soap and powder fragrances and has the effect of fixing fragrance. GB 2760-96 stipulates that it is temporarily allowed to use edible spices. It can be used as edible flavor, daily flavor, edible flavor, etc., used for almond, vanilla, cinnamon, honey, berry, mixed sweet drink, balm flavor, pungent flavor, grape and cherry flavor. It can also be used in edible bayberry flavors, with a clear and sweet flavor. In addition, due to the high boiling point and stability, GB 2760-96 stipulates that it is temporarily allowed to use edible spices. Mainly used to prepare strawberry, raspberry, plum, cherry and other flavors. Because of its high boiling point and stability, it should be used for baked foods. It is an important flavor and spice intermediate, and is also used as an intermediate in medicine and food additives Used in the spice industry Appropriate amount of it is used in roses, narcissus, ambergris-amber, citrus, fragrant, vegetarian orchid, cologne, heavy oriental type and woody-incense type.

It has a better effect when combined with fragrant purple bacteria and natural fruit essential oil, and is better when used with fragrant powder, perfume and essence. It can also be used in edible bayberry flavors, with a clear and sweet flavor. Synthetic cinnamates are mainly used as spices for food and cosmetics. Ethyl cinnamate can be used as a fixative and thickener for flavors. In addition, methyl cinnamate and ethyl cinnamate can be added to tobacco shreds as flavoring agents and aroma compensators. Since the boiling points of methyl cinnamate and ethyl ester series monomers are above 260 degrees, the persistence rate of tobacco shreds after flavoring, the transfer rate of mainstream particles after suction and the retention rate of filter nozzles are relatively high and stable, which is a very excellent cigarette tobacco |

Production method | In the presence of sulfuric acid, cinnamic acid and ethanol are esterified (yield is about 60%). It can also be obtained by the reaction of benzaldehyde and ethyl acetate. Benzaldehyde and ethyl acetate are combined in the presence of metallic sodium. It is obtained by heating cinnamic acid, ethanol, and sulfuric acid to 100°C in the presence of aluminum sulfate. |
