Abstract

Cinnamomum verum (cinnamon) is the most well-known spice having a spicy odor and flavor and is used as flavorant, fungicide, and antibacterial agent. The current study reports the analysis of volatile oil compounds (VOCs) of C. verum by simultaneous-distillation extraction (SDE) and gas chromatography- mass spectrometry (GC-MS) techniques. The study further investigates antimicrobial activities of C. verum bark extracts. The results represented identification of 106 VOCs, which were assigned to sesquiterpene hydrocarbons(42), oxygenated sesquiterpene(18), monoterpene hydrocarbons (10), and aldehydes (10). Among the 106 VOCs, (E)-cinnamaldehyde (74.99%), acopaene(2.66%), d-cadinene(2.55%),a-muurolene (1.88%), 2-methoxycinnamaldehyde (1.86%), eugenol (1.65%), (Z)-cinnamald-ehyde (1.45%), and ?-muurolene (1.08%). Different solvent extracts of C. verum exhibited significant antibacterial and antifungal activities. The presence of high content of a bioactive compound (cinnamaldehyde) in C. verum confirms its various applications in food and folk medicines along with infections treatment.
