“…GC‐MS analysis showed that the major component of cinnamon leaf oil used in this study was eugenol, which was 84·5% of the total oil composition. This is similar to findings in the current literature (Mallavarapu et al ; Paranagama et al ; Raina et al ; Jayawardena and Smith ). In contrast, the major component of the cinnamon bark EO used in this study was Σ‐cinnamaldehyde at 85·3% of the total composition.…”

Aims This study aimed to identify the most effective antimicrobial agent from a selection of essential oils (EO) and investigate its bactericidal properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods and Results The disc diffusion assay and minimal inhibitory/bactericidal concentration tests were used to identify antimicrobial potential. Several oils exhibited antimicrobial effects at concentrations as low as 0·03% (v/v). Significantly, cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) bark EO exhibited a broad‐spectrum activity against Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacteria and showed bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects against P. aeruginosa PAO1 at 0·125% (v/v) and all other tested organisms, including known multidrug resistant species. Time‐kill assays and metabolic activity tests showed cinnamon oil to exhibit rapid killing, with bactericidal activity observed in ≤6 min at ≥0·5% (v/v). Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy and a membrane permeability assay indicated damage to membrane integrity, loss of turgor and cell collapse. Conclusion Cinnamon bark EO is a broad‐spectrum antimicrobial agent capable of rapid killing at low concentrations. Significance and Impact of the Study This study provides a sound basis for further investigation of the potential of cinnamon bark EO as an alternative to conventional antimicrobial products due to its fast‐acting bactericidal properties at low concentrations.

“…Raina et al (2001) and Prabuseenivasan et al (2006) found that cinnamaldehyde is the major component of the EO of C. zeylanicum. Raina et al (2001) and Vangalapati et al (2012) showed that this essential oil contains alpha copaene, Caryophylleneoxide, Di-n-octylphthalate and Bornyl cinnamate.…”

Several in vitro studies have demonstrated antibacterial activity of essential oils extracted from different medicinal plants. In this work, we performed extraction of essential oil from the bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum by steam distillation, the identification of their compounds was carried out by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The antibacterial effect was evaluated on seven isolates of pathogenic bacteria. The results of the chromatographic technique showed that the prevailing compound was cinnamaldehyde at a rate of 91.042%. The diameters of inhibition zones ranged from 19.5 to 30.5 mm. The minimum inhibitory concentrations were between 0.05 and 0.2%. The best antibacterial activity was observed against the Gram-positive isolates.

“…They have reported that eugenol is the major volatile compound (87.3%) and no trans-cinnamaldehyde is detected. Raina, Srivastava, Aggraval, Ramesh and Kumar (2001) have suggested eugenol (76.6%), linalool (8.5%) and pipertone (3.3%) as three major components of C. zeylanicum leaf oil. These results are different to our results obtained in this work.…”
