Abstract:Cinnamomum verum (Lauraceae), also known as “true cinnamon” or “Ceylon cinnamon” has been widely used in traditional folk medicine and cuisine for a long time. The systematics of C. verum presents some difficulties due to genetic variation and morphological similarity between other Cinnamomum species. The present work aimed to find chemical and molecular markers of C. verum samples from the Amazon region of Brazil. The leaf EOs and the genetic material (DNA) were extracted from samples cultivated and commercia… Show more
“…The chemical compositions of Cinnamomum verum can be varied depending on the geographical distribution. It has been reported that C. verum leaf essential oils cultivated in different regions reveal the existence of four chemotypes (eugenol, eugenol and safrole, benzyl benzoate, and linalool) (Xavier et al 2022). Previous work revealed that yields and compositions of essential oils from cassia bark and twigs vary significantly based on their origins (Li et al 2013a;Cen et al 2021), which may be related to environmental conditions such as altitude, sunlight, and soil type, as well as to cultivation conditions (Figueiredo et al 2008).…”

“…35 The variation in secondary metabolite composition could be due to genetic modifications correlated with the adaptation of particular plant species to their environment. 37 The term phenoplasticity was introduced to describe the change in pattern of volatiles within a species under the influence of abiotic stressors. 10 The characterization of EO composition and their chemotypes is very important, making it possible to determine potentially toxic compounds and not only valuable bioactivities 38 and particularly in health claims regarding the EO components.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
