Cassia oil

Cassia oil (CAS 8007-80-5), also known by its FEMA 2258 designation, is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from the bark and leaves of Cinnamomum cassia. It delivers a warm, intensely spicy cinnamon-like flavor and aroma.

This profile positions it as a commercially significant ingredient across food, fragrance, and pharmaceutical applications. In food and beverage manufacturing, it is used to flavor baked goods, confectionery, and seasonings.

It is particularly valued in spiced beverages where a robust cinnamon profile is required. Fragrance formulators incorporate it into personal care products such as soaps, body washes, and perfumes to achieve warm, oriental scent profiles.

Oral care manufacturers use it as a flavoring agent in toothpastes and mouthwashes. In pharmaceutical applications, it functions as a masking agent and flavoring component in syrups and other oral dosage forms.

The oil is supplied as a liquid in standard packaging ranging from small drums to bulk containers suited for industrial procurement. It is available in food-grade quality conforming to FCC specifications.

It is also available in grades meeting BP and Ph. Eur. standards for pharmaceutical use. Buyers should confirm origin and trans-cinnamaldehyde content as standard quality checkpoints when sourcing.

Adulteration testing is another critical factor for quality assurance in large-scale procurement. These standards ensure the product meets the rigorous demands of global manufacturing and safety regulations.
