What are the uses of cinnamic acid?

Application of flavors and fragrances

1. The prepared apples and cherries can be used as apple essence, cherry essence, fruit essence and floral essence. 2. It can be used as an aromatic mixture in soap, shampoo, washing powder and daily cosmetics. 3. It can inhibit the formation of black tyrosinase, has a certain isolation effect on ultraviolet rays, and can make brown spots lighter or even disappear. It is one of the basic ingredients of advanced sunscreen. 4. Cinnamic acid itself is a kind of perfume, which has a good fragrance retention function. Usually used as a raw material for spice matching, it can make the fragrance of the main fragrance more fragrant and volatile. Various esters of cinnamic acid (such as a, b, c, d, etc. ) can be used as a fixative for drinks, cold drinks, sweets, alcohol and other foods.

1. Microbial enzymatic synthesis of L- phenylalanine from cinnamic acid. L- phenylalanine is the main raw material of sweet aspartame, an important food additive. 2. Unilever obtained the PCTInt patent of the World Intellectual Property Organization. Application program. WO 00187,080 (2001,1.22) This paper introduces the composition of cinnamic acid and pasteurization assistant, which has strong bactericidal and antiseptic effects. 3. Cinnamic acid is also a component of cinnamic acid hydrolase, a capsaicin synthase. Using transgenic technology to cultivate excellent varieties with high capsaicin content will greatly improve the quality of pepper, thus effectively promoting the industrial development of pepper. 4. The use of cinnamic acid for mildew prevention, antisepsis and sterilization can be applied to the preservation and antisepsis of grain, vegetables and fruits. It can also be used in wine to make it bright. 6. Cinnamic acid has a strong exciting effect and can be widely added directly to all foods.

In the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used to synthesize important drugs for treating coronary heart disease, such as clonidine lactate and Xintongping, and it can also be used to synthesize chlorpheniramine butyric acid and cinnamyl piperazine, and can be used to make "Xin Ke An", local anesthetics, fungicides and hemostatic drugs. Chloroaminobutyric acid and cinnamyl piperazine can also be synthesized and used as spinal cord relaxants and spasmolytics. Mainly used for cerebral thrombosis, cerebral arteriosclerosis, coronary arteriosclerosis and other diseases. It has obvious inhibitory effect on the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Cinnamic acid is an effective inhibitor of A-549 1 human lung adenocarcinoma cells, which has great application value in anti-cancer.

4. Application of cinnamic acid in beauty: Cinnamic acid can be used in beauty. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in melanin synthesis, which initiates a chain reaction from tyrosine to melanin biopolymer. Cinnamic acid can inhibit the formation of black tyrosinase, isolate ultraviolet rays to some extent, and make brown spots lighter or even disappear. It is one of the essential ingredients in advanced sunscreen. Cinnamic acid has a remarkable antioxidant effect and has a good effect on slowing down the appearance of wrinkles. Application of cinnamic acid in pesticide industry In agriculture, cinnamic acid is used as growth promoter and long-acting bactericide for fruit and vegetable preservation. 6. Application of cinnamic acid in organic synthetic chemistry In organic chemical synthesis, cinnamic acid can be used as slow-release agent for galvanized sheet, heat stabilizer for PVC, crosslinking agent for polyurethane, flame retardant for hydantoin and polycaprolactam, and chemical analysis reagent. It is also a reagent for determining the separation of uranium and vanadium; It is also the main synthetic raw material of negative photosensitive resin. Cinnamate, polyvinyl cinnamate, polyoxyethylene ethyl cinnamate and epoxy resin with cinnamate as side group were mainly synthesized. Used in plastics, it can be used as a heat stabilizer for PVC, a deodorizer for sterilization, mildew prevention and mildew prevention, and can also be added into rubber and foamed plastics to make deodorized shoes and insoles. It can also be used for mildew prevention of cotton cloth and various synthetic fibers, leather, paint, shoe polish, straw mats and other products.
