Chemical Information
FooDB NameEthyl cinnamate
DescriptionEthyl cinnamate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cinnamic acid esters. These are compound containing an ester derivative of cinnamic acid. Ethyl cinnamate is a sweet, balsam, and berry tasting compound. Ethyl cinnamate is found, on average, in the highest concentration within red wine. Ethyl cinnamate has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as ceylon cinnamons (Cinnamomum verum), evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus), tamarinds (Tamarindus indica), blackberries (Rubus), and tarragons (Artemisia dracunculus). This could make ethyl cinnamate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Ethyl cinnamate.
