Cinnamomum verum

Phenylpropanoids are widespread in higher plants, especially in the plants that produce essential oils, e.g. plants of the families, Apiaceae, Lamiaceae, Lauraceae, Myrtaceae and Rutaceae. For example, Tolu balsam (Myroxylon balsamum, family Fabaceae) yields a high concentration of cinnamic acid esters, cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, family Lauraceae) produces cinnamaldehyde, fennel (Foeniculum vulgare, family Apiaceae) is a good...

Cinnamon and its close relative, cassia, are among the earliest, most popular spices used by mankind. The genus Cinnamomum (family Lauraceae) consists of 250 species of trees and shrubs distributed in Southeast Asia, China and Australia. In India, it is represented by 26 species, of which 12 each are reported from North-east and South India. The true cinnamon, Cinnamomum verum syn. C. zeylanicum, is a native of Sri Lanka and South India. Cassia cinnamon is derived from different sources, such as Chinese cassia (C. cassia syn. C. aromatica) from China and Vietnam, Indonesian cassia (C. burmannii) from Sumatra and the Java region and Indian cassia (C. tamala) from the north-eastern region of India and Myanmar (Burma) (Baruah and Nath, 2004).

Origin of Some Central Trivial Names. Some names were chosen according to the discovery of the corresponding compounds such as cinnamic acid [Cinnamomum verum Presl., cinnamon tree (Lauraceae)], coumaric acids/ coumarin [Dipterix odorata (Aubl.) Wu-ld. sub nom. Coumarouna odorata Aubl. (Fabaceae)], caf-feic acid [Coffea arabica L., coffee tree (Rubiaceae)], and ferulic add (Ferula spp., Apiaceae). Quinic acid is named according to its discovery as a constituent of cinchona bark [Cinchona L. spp. (Rubiaceae)] this compound was named according to the German Chinarinde (cinchona bark) - corrupted from quina (Spanish...
