cinnamomum zeylanicum bark oil india
In 1989, Variyar and Bandyopadhayay used retention time data of authentic compounds on a packed GC column to determine the composition of bark and twig oils of Cinnamomum zeylanicum of Kerala (India) origin. The compounds characterized in these oils can be seen in Table VIII. Only the bark oil will be shown here:

In 1997, Jayaprakasha et al. analyzed two oils of the fruit of C. zeylanicum by GC and GC/MS. Although the oils were produced from fruit harvested in two different locations in India, Karnataka and Kerala, the oil compositions were similar as can be seen from the following analytical results:

cinnamomum zeylanicum leaf oil
The seasonal variation in the composition of cinnamon leaf oil produced from leaves harvested at different times of the year was studied by Kaul et al. (1996). They found that oil produced from leaves harvested either in the summer or in the winter possessed comparable chemical compositions, whereas an oil produced from leaves harvested in the rainy season had a reduced level of eugenol and an increased level of eugenyl acetate (Table VIII). Note: this page will only include the summer harvest.
