Study on the Extraction Conditions of Cinnamon Oil

Cinnamon oil is distilled with steam distillation.Cinnamon oil from industrial production extraction conditions by steam distillation were redistilled.The experimental results showed that the optimum condition was 1 600 kg of cinnamon leaf,the amount of steam 12 kg /min,distillation time 2.0 h.Under this condition,cinnamon oil yield was 1.18%.The paper also showed that the content of cinnamon oil in aromaticwater was considerable.It makes up more than 60% of total cinnamon oil,and also had a high content of cinnamic aldehyde.It could reach 89.2%.
