Product Overview
Cinnamate, also recognized by its chemical nomenclature and common synonyms, including (2E)-3-Phenylacrylic acid, trans-3-Phenylacrylic Acid, Cinnamic acid, Cinnamyl acid, and 2-Propenoic acid, 3-phenyl-, (E)-, is a fundamental molecule in the world of natural extracts and chemical synthesis.
Cinnamate powder is a naturally occurring, unsaturated carboxylic acid present in numerous botanical species. It exhibits excellent solubility in a wide array of organic solvents. This valuable compound is sourced commercially from natural materials such as cinnamon oil, or various balsams like styrax. It is also a documented component found within shea butter. Characterized by a distinctive honey-like scent, cinnamic acid and its various volatile ethyl esters constitute significant fractions of cinnamon essential oil, where the related compound, cinnamaldehyde, predominates.
