Chemical Information
FooDB NameCinnamyl alcohol
DescriptionCinnamyl alcohol, also known as styrylcarbinol or zimtalcohol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cinnamyl alcohols. These are aromatic alcohols containing a 3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ol moiety. Cinnamyl alcohol is a sweet, balsam, and bitter tasting compound. Cinnamyl alcohol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within ceylon cinnamons (Cinnamomum verum) and star anises (Illicium verum). Cinnamyl alcohol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as green zucchinis (Cucurbita pepo var. cylindrica), turmerics (Curcuma longa), shiitakes (Lentinus edodes), bamboo shoots (Phyllostachys edulis), and pepper (spice). This could make cinnamyl alcohol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Cinnamyl alcohol.
