Abstract

Cinnamon belongs to the family of Lauraceae. This genus comprises over 250 species. It is widely distributed throughout tropical and sub-tropical areas. It is widely used as spice and used as herbal medicine. Cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, cinnamic acid etc. Cinnamaldehyde gives flavour and odour to the cinnamon. The objectives of this work were extraction of cinnamaldehyde from cinnamon by batch studies and purify the cinnamaldehyde by using column chromatography. For the optimized physico-chemical parameters, the highest cinnamaldehyde concentration was observed to be 44.6mg/L and the concentration was increased to 52.0mg/L from the column chromatography.
