Cinnamon is a common spice, and has been used for thousands of years in foods as well as for its medicinal benefits. In Ayurveda, it has been used as an antiemetic, anti-diarrheal, anti-flatulent, and a stimulant. In ancient Egypt, cinnamon was used for embalming. The global cinnamon market is expected to be driven by applications in foods and medicinal benefits of cinnamon. North America, Europe and Asia are likely to be key markets.
Cinnamon is used in savoury dishes, pickles, soups, and sweets. Essential oils are made from cinnamon bark, leaves, flowers and fruits; these oils are used in cosmetics and food products. In some European nations, cinnamon-flavoured foods are becoming increasingly popular. C. cassia is more popular than C. verum in Europe. Biscuits containing cinnamon are popular in Germany. In the northern part of Greece, meat with cinnamon is a popular traditional food. Cinnamon rolls are popular in USA. These uses are expected to drive the global cinnamon market. Europe is a significant market for cinnamon. Europe is chiefly a cassia market, but there are opportunities for Ceylon cinnamon in particular nations and segments. The United Kingdom, Belgium and Italy are key importers of Ceylon cinnamon.
Cinnamon is chiefly employed in aroma and essence industries owing to its fragrance; cinnamon is used in several types of foods, perfumes, and medicinal products. Key elements of cinnamon include cinnamaldehyde and trans-cinnamaldehyde (Cin), present in the essential oil and contributing to the fragrance and to the different biological activities observed with cinnamon. Cinnamon bark carries procyanidins and catechins. Components of procyanidins include both procyanidin A-type and B-type linkages. These procyanidins obtained from cinnamon and berries also contain antioxidant activities.
