Product description：

Cinnamon Extract is derived from high-quality cinnamon bark, primarily sourced from the branches of Cinnamomum cassia Presl or Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume. The cinnamon trees are cultivated in regions with optimal growing conditions, ensuring the production of cinnamon bark rich in beneficial compounds.

The extraction process begins with the careful selection and cleaning of the cinnamon bark to remove any impurities. We utilize advanced extraction techniques, such as solvent extraction with ethanol or water extraction. In the ethanol extraction method, the cinnamon bark is macerated in ethanol under controlled conditions. This allows for the efficient extraction of the active components, including essential oils, polyphenols, and other bioactive substances. After extraction, the solution is filtered to remove solid residues, and the ethanol is then removed through distillation under vacuum to obtain a concentrated cinnamon extract. For water extraction, the cinnamon bark is boiled in water, and the resulting solution is concentrated through evaporation to yield the extract. Our extraction process is optimized to preserve the integrity and activity of the valuable compounds in the cinnamon bark.

Key Ingredients

Cinnamaldehyde: This is the main component of cinnamon extract and is responsible for the characteristic aroma and flavor of cinnamon. Cinnamaldehyde has been shown to possess antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. It can inhibit the growth of various pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, and also plays a role in protecting cells from oxidative damage.
Polyphenols: Cinnamon extract contains a variety of polyphenolic compounds, including flavonoids and phenolic acids. These polyphenols contribute to the antioxidant activity of the extract, helping to neutralize free radicals in the body. They also have potential anti-inflammatory effects, which can be beneficial for overall health.
Essential Oils: In addition to cinnamaldehyde, cinnamon extract contains other essential oil components. These essential oils not only contribute to the unique aroma of cinnamon but also have certain biological activities. For example, they can have a stimulating effect on the digestive system and may help improve appetite.
Minerals and Trace Elements: Cinnamon extract also contains small amounts of minerals and trace elements, such as calcium, potassium, and iron. These nutrients play important roles in various physiological processes in the body.

Application：

Food and Beverage Industry

Flavoring Agent: Cinnamon extract is a popular flavoring agent in the food and beverage industry. It can be added to a wide range of products, such as baked goods (cakes, cookies, bread), confectionery, beverages (tea, coffee, fruit juices), and dairy products (yogurt, ice cream). Its unique aroma and flavor enhance the taste of these products, making them more appealing to consumers.
Natural Preservative: Due to its antimicrobial properties, cinnamon extract can be used as a natural preservative in food products. It helps extend the shelf life of food by inhibiting the growth of spoilage microorganisms, reducing the need for synthetic preservatives.
Nutritional Fortifier: In addition to its flavor and preservative functions, cinnamon extract can also be used as a nutritional fortifier. It adds beneficial compounds, such as antioxidants and minerals, to food products, increasing their nutritional value.

Cosmetics and Personal Care

Antioxidant and Anti-Aging Ingredient: In cosmetics, the antioxidant properties of cinnamon extract make it a valuable ingredient. It can protect the skin from free radical damage, which is a major cause of skin aging. By reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots, cinnamon extract helps keep the skin looking youthful and healthy. It can be incorporated into facial creams, serums, and masks.
Anti-Inflammatory and Soothing Agent: Cinnamon extract's anti-inflammatory properties can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness and swelling. It is suitable for use in products designed for sensitive or acne-prone skin, helping to calm the skin and prevent breakouts.

Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical

Dietary Supplements: Cinnamon extract is commonly used in dietary supplements, available in the form of capsules, tablets, or liquid extracts. These supplements are formulated to provide the health benefits of cinnamon, such as blood sugar regulation and cardiovascular support. They are suitable for individuals who may not consume enough cinnamon in their diet or who want to target specific health concerns.
Natural Medicine: In traditional medicine, cinnamon has been used for centuries to treat various ailments. Our cinnamon extract can be used in the development of natural medicine products, either as a single ingredient or in combination with other herbal extracts, to address health issues such as digestive disorders, respiratory infections, and inflammatory conditions.

Function

Blood Sugar Regulation: Cinnamon extract has been widely studied for its potential to help regulate blood sugar levels. The active components in cinnamon can enhance insulin sensitivity, which means that cells are better able to take up glucose from the bloodstream. This can be beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes or those at risk of developing diabetes, as it helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Cardiovascular Health Support: The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of cinnamon extract contribute to cardiovascular health. By reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the body, it can help lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, cinnamon extract may help lower cholesterol levels, particularly LDL cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol), and improve blood lipid profiles.
Antimicrobial Action: As mentioned earlier, cinnamaldehyde and other components in cinnamon extract have strong antimicrobial properties. They can inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and even some viruses. This makes cinnamon extract useful in preventing and treating various infections, such as oral infections, gastrointestinal infections, and skin infections.
Digestive Aid: Cinnamon extract can stimulate the digestive system, increasing the secretion of digestive enzymes and promoting the breakdown of food. It can help relieve indigestion, bloating, and other digestive discomforts. Additionally, the warming and aromatic properties of cinnamon can soothe the digestive tract and improve overall digestive function.
