The chemistry and technology of cinnamon
1978
Wijesekera, R.O.B.
An historical overview of the cinnamon industry precedes a discussion of several topics: agronomy of cinnamon, traditional processing methods, technology of essential oil production, the chemistry of cinnamon volatiles and analytical methods, and some speculative considerations regarding the biogenesis of cinnamon volatiles. The volatile oils obtained from the bark, leaf, and root bark vary significantly in chemical composition. Each oil has a different primary constituent, but the three oils possess the same array of monoterpene hydrocarbons in varying proportions.
