Objectives Cinnamomum (Family Lauraceae) is traditionally used for flavouring food and in pharmaceutical preparations against various ailments. Detailed literature on the ethnobotanical and pharmacological properties of Cinnamomum is segregated and not present in well-documented form. In the present review, we have been trying to gather its detailed medicinal as well as pharmacological properties. The ethnobotanical and pharmacological properties of Cinnamomum were collected by searching several scientific databases, that is PubMed, Elsevier, Google Scholar, Science Direct and Scopus. Key findings The plant extracts have been reported to possess astringent, warming stimulant, carminative, blood purifier, digestive, antiseptic, antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties and also help to reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels. A wide range of phytochemical compounds including aldehydes,

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the chemical composition of leaf essential oil of C. walaiwarense that is rich in benzyl benzoate. Earlier, Jantan et al [7a-f] [8] were also rich in benzyl benzoate. Bark and leaf essential oils of C. verum usually contain cinnamaldehyde and eugenol respectively as principal compounds.…”

Chemical Profile of Leaf Essential Oil of Cinnamomum walaiwarense and Comparison of its Antioxidant and Hypoglycemic Activities with the Major Constituent Benzyl Benzoate

Leaf essential oils of an unexplored wild cinnamon, Cinnamomum walaiwarense Kosterm. collected from seven different locations in the southern Western Ghats, India were characterized by GC-FID and GC-MS analyses. Benzyl benzoate was the principal constituent of the leaf essential oil present at a concentration from 65 to 89.8%. Another major constituent was phenylethyl benzoate. The results on antioxidant (ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging) and hypoglycemic (α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory) activities show that the leaf essential oils exhibited better activities than benzyl benzoate. The very least antioxidant and inhibitory activities of benzyl benzoate show that these activities of the leaf essential oils were due to the synergistic action of minor constituents. The rich content of benzyl benzoate in the leaf essential oil makes C. walaiwarense a potential natural source of this compound. As benzyl benzoate is an excellent scabicide and pediculicide, the essential oil may be further investigated for industrial and other medicinal applications.

“…46 Essential oil from the roots of Cinnamomum porrectum and the wood of Cinnamomum rigidissimum has a safrole content of 85.5-97.0% and 61.7%, respectively. 45 Other high safrole-yielding species within the genus Cinnamomum are Cinnamomum petrophilum (94.9%), 47 Cinnamomum parthenoxylon (90.3%), 48 Cinnamomum baileyanum (46.0%), 49 and Cinnamomum pauciflorum (69.7%). 50 The percentage content of safrole found in the Cinnamomum species is listed in Table 1 (serial numbers [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Review on safrole: identity shift of the ‘candy shop’ aroma to a carcinogen and deforester

Safrole, a phenylpropene with a ‘candy shop’ aroma, is abundant in nature among diverse plant genera such as Sassafras, Ocotea, Cinnamomum, Myristica, and Piper. Sassafras oil has been used extensively for a long time, first by Native Americans and later by European settlers in traditional medicine and as a flavouring agent. Until 1960 the consumption of safrole by the western population, as a flavouring agent in beer, meat, and soft drinks, was unregulated. Later, the recognition of this phytochemical as a weak hepatocarcinogen with demonstrated genotoxicity in rodents led to strict restrictions on its use in food by various regulatory bodies globally. Moreover, in Asian countries oral carcinogenesis has been linked to safrole through the habit of chewing betel quid. As a separate issue, safrole is an inexpensive synthetic precursor to the illicit recreational drug Ecstasy. Accelerating demand for this party drug during the last few decades has encouraged the unscientific harvesting, illegal production, and trading of safrole‐rich oils, leading to massive deforestation. Recently, many government authorities have enforced laws to restrict the production and harvesting of safrole‐bearing plants. Thus, the identity of safrole has altered with time from a pleasant flavouring agent to a hepatocarcinogen, and more recently as a driver of the destruction of biodiversity. Law enforcement has not only hampered its availability but has also extensively affected industrial use. Our review describes the research progress (1960–2018) on its natural distribution, carcinogenicity, usage as a natural synthon, and the regulations imposed on safrole and safrole‐rich oils worldwide. Finally, we draw our readers’ attention to the sustainable use of this phytochemical for a better future.
