alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde has a jasmine-like odor, particularly on dilution. May be synthesized by condensation of octylaldehyde with benzaldehyde.
Chemical Properties
Hexyl cinnamaldehyde has a jasmine-like odor, particularly on dilution.
Chemical Properties
Pale-yellow liquid; jasminelike odor, particularly on dilution. Soluble in most fixed oils and in mineral oil; insoluble in glycerol and in propylene glycol.
Chemical Properties
alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde is a yellow liquid with a mild, slightly fatty, floral, somewhat herbal odor, and a distinct jasmine note. Similarly to the -amyl homolog, -hexylcinnamaldehydemust be protected against oxidation by the addition of stabilizers. It is prepared in a manner similar to that of -amylcinnamaldehyde by alkaline condensation of excess benzaldehyde with octanal (instead of heptanal). -Hexylcinnamaldehyde is widely used in flower compositions (e.g., jasmine and gardenia) and, because of its stability to alkali, in soap perfumes.
Occurrence
Reported found in cooked, scented rice.
Uses
hexyl cinnamal is also known as hexyl cinnamic aldehyde. It is a fragrance that provides a floral, jasmine-like scent.
Uses
α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde is characterized by a typical floral scent, which makes them suitable to be used as fragrances in personal care (perfumes, creams, shampoos, etc.) and household products. It has been also used as flavouring additive in food and pharmaceutical industry.
Definition
ChEBI: A member of the class of cinnamaldehydes carrying a hexyl substituent at the alpha-position.
Preparation
By condensation of octylaldehyde with benzaldehyde
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: sweet, waxy, floral, green, citrus and fruity nuances
General Description
Solubilization of α-hexylcinnamaldehyde by the ionic surfactants, sodium dodecyl sulfate and dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride and a non-ionic surfactant such as dodecyl polyoxyethylene ethers has been investigated.
Hazard
Combustible.
Contact allergens
Hexyl cinnamic aldehyde is a fragrance allergen. Its presence has to be mentioned by name in cosmetics within the EU.
Solubility in organics
Insoluble in Propylene glycol and Glycerin. Soluble in alcohol, miscible with oils.
