Cinnamic acid can be used in beauty treatment. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme for melanin synthesis. It initiates the chain reaction of converting tyrosine into melanin biopolymer. Cinnamon Acid can inhibit the formation of tyrosinase, has a certain isolation effect on ultraviolet rays, and can make brown spots lighter or even disappear. It is one of the essential ingredients in high-end sunscreens. The significant antioxidant effect of cinnamic acid is very effective in slowing down the appearance of wrinkles. Cinnamic acid also has a good fragrance-preserving effect and is usually used as a fragrance raw material and as a fixative in daily fragrances. Application of cinnamic acid in the pesticide industry
In the agricultural industry, cinnamic acid is used as a growth promoter and long-lasting fungicide for fruit and vegetable preservation. Applications of cinnamic acid in industry and organic chemical synthesis
In organic chemical synthesis, cinnamic acid can be used as a sustained-release agent for galvanized sheets, a heat stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride, and polyurethane Cross-linking agent, flame retardant for hydantoin and polycaprolactam, chemical analysis reagent. It is also a reagent for measuring the separation of uranium and vanadium; it is also the main synthetic raw material for negative photosensitive resin. It mainly synthesizes cinnamate, polyvinyl alcohol cinnamate, polyethylene oxyethyl cinnamate and epoxy resins with side groups of cinnamate.
Applied to plastics, it can be used as a heat stabilizer for PVC, a sterilizing, anti-mold and deodorant. It can also be added to rubber and foam plastics to make anti-odor shoes and insoles. It can also be used for cotton and various Prevent mildew in synthetic fibers, leather, paint, shoe polish, straw mats and other products. Bee products include honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis, beeswax, bee venom and bee larvae, etc., which are the most nutritious dietary products and medicines.
Bee products have complex components. They not only have the functions of regulating human physiological functions, improving immune function, strengthening physical strength, eliminating fatigue, anti-aging, inhibiting tumors and beautifying, but also can treat and assist in the treatment of many stubborn diseases. Therefore, they have attracted the attention of scholars from all over the world. , has carried out a lot of work on the chemistry, pharmacological effects and clinical applications of bee products.
Since Kustenmacher identified cinnamyl alcohol and cinnamic acid from propolis in 1910, more than 300 compounds have been exclusively identified in propolis in northern temperate regions. Regarding the medicinal effects of propolis, a large number of experiments conducted by foreign scholars have proven that propolis has killing or inhibiting effects on bacteria, fungi, pathogens, and nematodes, including Bacillus larvae, Bacillus subtilis, rod-shaped bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus aureus. Bacillus, Streptococcus, Streptomyces, baker's yeast, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, 112 strains of anaerobic bacteria, Giardia Lambia, Bacteroidetes, Klebsiella and other bacteria, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea Mildew, Glomeromyces api, 6 types of human-infectious fungi and other fungi, herpes, potato virus, influenza, Newcastle disease and other viruses, as well as roundworms, etc. (Hu Fuliang, 1998), among which cinnamic acid plays a major role. It is also proven that propolis (Brazilian propolis and Chinese propolis) is safe as a food raw material.

Professor Lin Songzhou of the Department of Medicine, Taipei Medical College is conducting anti-cancer research , confirmed by FITCAnnexin V/PI chromosome, propolis can effectively induce apoptosis of human liver cancer cells, thereby achieving excellent therapeutic effect on liver cancer. Propolis can produce a large number of lymphocytes and activate them quickly, and has significant immunity-increasing activity. Taipei Medical College has also conducted research on the anti-cold virus properties of propolis. According to Lin Songzhou, propolis can fight cold viruses mainly because some of its ingredients, such as cinnamic acid, etc. and synthetic analogs of these ingredients, can have Significantly inhibits the replication of influenza virus, especially when used during the infection period, the effect is most obvious.
Propolis contains a variety of enzymes, which are very effective in prevention and treatment. It contains starch, tissue protein, fat and trypsin. Organic acids such as cinnamic acid and caffeic acid have antibacterial, virus, and mold properties, and can treat diarrhea and have intestinal health effects. Cinnamic acid, the content of which is 100-200 mg/L in red wine and 10-20 mg/L in white wine, is generally esterified by tartaric acid and turns yellow after oxidation. Carmen de la Torre, professor of nutrition at the University of Barcelona in Spain, pointed out that "red wine contains tyrosine-derived benzoic acid, cinnamic acid and other antioxidant ingredients. After metabolism, it is beneficial to enhance the body's immune function and prevent oxidation." Process of action and release of free radicals. She also mentioned that people who drink varying amounts of red wine from 9 to 34 grams a day have a significantly lower incidence of cardiovascular disease than those who do not drink red wine. From clinical experiments, drinking red wine has a very obvious effect in preventing blindness caused by cataracts and Alzheimer's disease in the elderly.
Research Results of the Italian Wine Institute [1995]
Extraction with ethanol solution and HPLC analysis confirmed that there are a variety of phenolic compounds in the cork used to produce wine stoppers. (Benzoic acid and cinnamic acid derivatives, vanillin, syringaldehyde and cannabinoids). The effects of storage and boiling of cork boards on these compounds were studied. Cinnamic acid and vanillin were the major components of phenolic compounds in all samples. There were significant differences in the concentrations of protocatechuic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, and vanillin in boiled cork boards compared with untreated ones. There were significant differences in protocatechuic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, caffeic acid and ferulic acid between stored cork boards and those without storage. Storage of cork boards increases the amount of extractable cinnamic acid. On the other hand, boiling reduced the concentration of homophenolic acids and increased the concentration of vanillin. Boiling cork boards after storage can be beneficial to the quality of cork stoppers, reducing the total amount of potential bad flavor substances (various cinnamic acids) and increasing the total amount of potential positive flavor substances (vanillin). .
