Cinnamaldehyde is an organic compound that has the flavor and aroma of cinnamon, which makes it useful as a flavoring agent in the food and beverage sector. It is used to provide a cinnamon taste to products like chewing gum, ice cream, candy, baked goods, and beverages. It has antioxidant and preservative properties that help to protect food from spoilage by stopping the growth of bacteria and fungi.

It works as a natural antimicrobial agent in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It is used as a fragrance in perfumes and personal care products, and also utilized as an insecticide, mosquito repellent, and corrosion inhibitor in industrial settings. Its antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties make it useful in various consumer and industrial products.

Feedstock for Cinnamaldehyde

The manufacturing of cinnamaldehyde involves a condensation reaction that utilizes benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde as the major feedstock. The changes in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect its production.

The procurement of benzaldehyde is affected by factors like availability and price of feedstocks, environmental regulations, market demand, etc. The availability and price instability of its raw materials like toluene (toluene is derived from crude oil, and instability in crude oil prices affects its sourcing) and benzyl chloride (prices and availability of its key feedstocks, i.e., benzene and chlorine affects its procurement), directly impact its production costs. The fluctuations in its demand in downstream industries like agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, fragrances and cosmetics, dyes and coatings, and resins and adhesives affect its availability. Strict environmental and safety regulations that require compliance, safety measures, and greener production methods add to its procurement costs.

The sourcing of acetaldehyde (another major raw material used in the production of cinnamaldehyde) is influenced by cost and availability of its feedstocks like ethylene (ethylene is obtained from naphtha and instability in crude oil prices affects its sourcing) and ethanol (availability and price of carbohydrate-rich feedstocks that are affected by seasonal variations influences ethanol sourcing). It requires specialized logistics and transportation because of its volatile and hazardous nature, which adds to its procurement costs. The changes in its demand in chemicals, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, plastics and synthetic rubber, paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, paper and pulp, water treatment, fragrances, etc., affect its price and availability.
 

Market Drivers for Cinnamaldehyde

The market for cinnamaldehyde is influenced by its usage in the food and beverage sector. Its utilization as a natural flavoring agent and preservative contributes to its demand as a clean-label and plant-based ingredient. Its use in fragrances, cosmetics, and personal care products fuels its market. Its utilization in pharmaceuticals and the health industry boosts its demand in therapeutic formulations and supplements. Its use as a natural insecticide and corrosion inhibitor further contributes to its demand in agriculture and industrial applications.

The usage of advanced technology in encapsulation and delivery technologies improves stability and targeted release in functional foods, beverages, and health products, which expands its demand further. Its market in the Asia-Pacific region is supported by raw material availability, rapid urbanization, and a growing food, beverage, and personal care industry. The North American market is driven by its strong demand for natural food additives, advanced R&D capabilities, and a well-established flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industry. In Europe, strict regulations that promote natural and organic ingredients, a strong cosmetics sector, and a focus on sustainability and bio-based products fuel its market expansion.

The CAPEX for the cinnamaldehyde manufacturing plant includes costs of stainless steel or glass-lined reactor vessels (with agitators and cooling jackets), raw material storage tanks, and dosing pumps. It also includes chillers or heat exchangers, post-reaction neutralization tanks, phase separation tanks or settlers, and distillation columns (with reboilers, condensers, and reflux drums). Filtration systems, vacuum tray dryers, product holding tanks, and semi-automatic packing machines for filling drums or bottles also come under CAPEX. Its OPEX includes raw material costs (benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde), and utility consumption for distillation and chilling. Wages for labor, maintenance of reactors and distillation systems, and regulatory compliance costs related to effluent and air emissions handling also come under OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Cinnamaldehyde manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Cinnamaldehyde manufacturing.

• By Condensation Reaction: The feedstock for this process includes benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde.

The production of cinnamaldehyde involves a condensation reaction between benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde. In this process, benzaldehyde reacts with acetaldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide as a basic catalyst. The reaction takes place under controlled conditions for a better yield of cinnamaldehyde. Finally, the product is separated and purified to get pure cinnamaldehyde as the final product.
 

Properties of Cinnamaldehyde

Cinnamaldehyde has a molecular formula of C9H8O2358 with a molecular weight of 132.16 g/mol. It is a clear yellow to yellowish oily liquid with a strong, pungent cinnamon-like odor and a sweet, spicy taste. It has a density of about 1.05 g/mL with a melting point between -9 and -4 degree Celsius, and a boiling point of 248 degree Celsius. It is slightly soluble in water but is miscible with alcohol and many organic solvents.

It thickens and darkens upon exposure to air because of oxidation and is stable under normal storage conditions, but combustible and incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong bases. It is an alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehyde that contains a benzene ring attached to an unsaturated aldehyde group. It is highly reactive in nucleophilic addition and condensation reactions. It goes through oxidation, reduction, and addition reactions at both the aldehyde and the double bond.
