Chemical properties: Cinnamic acid contains a carboxylic acid group and a double bond in the side - chain. These functional groups make it reactive towards various chemical reagents, allowing it to participate in esterification, addition, and oxidation reactions.
- **Fragrance Industry**: Cinnamic acid is widely used in the fragrance industry. Its sweet, balsamic odor makes it a valuable ingredient in perfumes, colognes, and scented candles. It can add a warm, spicy note to the fragrance composition.
- **Flavoring Agent**: In the food industry, it serves as a flavoring agent. It can be used to impart a cinnamon - like flavor to baked goods, beverages, and confectionery products.
- **Pharmaceutical Industry**: Cinnamic acid has shown potential pharmacological activities. It may have antibacterial, antifungal, and anti - inflammatory properties. It is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical drugs.
- **Organic Synthesis**: It is an important starting material in organic synthesis. It can be used to prepare esters, amides, and other derivatives, which have applications in different fields such as plastics, dyes, and agrochemicals.
- **In the Fragrance Industry**: When using cinnamic acid in fragrance formulations, it should be dissolved in a suitable solvent such as ethanol. The concentration of cinnamic acid in the fragrance mixture can range from 0.1% to 5%, depending on the desired intensity of the cinnamon - like note.
- **As a Flavoring Agent**: In food applications, cinnamic acid should be added in small quantities according to the food safety regulations. It can be dissolved in a small amount of alcohol or oil before being added to the food product during the manufacturing process.
- **In Organic Synthesis**: When used as a starting material in organic synthesis, the reaction conditions should be carefully controlled. For example, in esterification reactions, a catalyst such as sulfuric acid may be required, and the reaction should be carried out under appropriate temperature and pressure conditions.
- **Case 1: Fragrance Creation**
A perfume company wanted to create a new men's cologne with a warm, spicy undertone. They incorporated cinnamic acid into their fragrance formula at a concentration of 2%. After extensive testing and consumer feedback, the cologne was well - received in the market. The cinnamic acid added a unique, long - lasting cinnamon - like note that complemented the other fragrance ingredients, making it stand out from competitors.
- **Case 2: Food Flavoring**
A bakery was looking to improve the flavor of their cinnamon rolls. They added a small amount of cinnamic acid (0.05% of the total weight of the dough) to the recipe. The result was a more intense and authentic cinnamon flavor. Customers reported that the cinnamon rolls had a stronger aroma and a more satisfying taste, leading to an increase in sales.
- **Case 3: Organic Synthesis**
A chemical research group was synthesizing a new type of plasticizer. They used cinnamic acid as a starting material in an esterification reaction with an alcohol. By carefully controlling the reaction conditions, they were able to obtain a high - yield product with excellent plasticizing properties. The new plasticizer was then tested in a plastic manufacturing process, and it showed improved flexibility and durability of the plastic products.
