Metabolite Identification
Common 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 oil-seed camellia (Camellia oleifera), other bread, cumins (Cuminum cyminum), chickpeas (Cicer arietinum), and buffalo currants (Ribes aureum var. villosum). This could make cinnamyl alcohol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Cinnamyl alcohol is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Cinnamyl alcohol.
