Product Description

Product Description

Cinnamon bark extract is standardized either to polyphenols (about 10–50%) or to cinnamaldehyde (about 5%). The oil is mostly cinnamaldehyde and is a flavour; the polyphenol extract is the supplement-style powder.

Cassia and Ceylon differ in coumarin, which is the safety number for high daily doses. A polyphenol COA that hides coumarin is incomplete for a capsule.

When buying, choose polyphenols or cinnamaldehyde, and ask for coumarin and the species.

Applications

Polyphenol Capsules

Polyphenol Capsules

10–50% polyphenols, with coumarin on the COA.

Flavour Aldehyde

Flavour Aldehyde

The 5% cinnamaldehyde grade is closer to flavour than to a polyphenol capsule.

Beverage Flavour

Beverage Flavour

Use a flavour-grade aldehyde spec. Do not assume the capsule extract tastes like bakery cinnamon.

Coumarin on the Capsule COA

Coumarin on the Capsule COA

Cassia runs higher in coumarin. The EU food limit is why the species matters.

Bakery Flavour

Bakery Flavour

Use the cinnamaldehyde grade for flavour. The polyphenol extract will not taste like cinnamon sugar.

Coumarin

Coumarin

Ask for it on Cassia lots. The EU limits coumarin in flavoured foods.

FAQ

Should we order polyphenols or cinnamaldehyde?
Polyphenols about 10–50%, or cinnamaldehyde about 5%.
Why does the coumarin level matter?
Cassia is naturally higher in coumarin, which is limited in foods in the EU.
Do Cassia and Ceylon cinnamon meet the same specification?
Say Cinnamomum cassia or C. verum. They are not equal on coumarin.
What polyphenol and cinnamaldehyde levels are available?
Polyphenols about 10–50%. Cinnamaldehyde about 5%.
Which species should the order name?
Cinnamomum cassia or Cinnamomum verum. They are not equal on coumarin.
Which marker is the flavour, and which is the supplement?
Cinnamaldehyde is the flavour marker. Polyphenols are the supplement-style powder.
