Cinnamon has been reported to have significant benefits for human health, particularly as an anti-inflammatory, antitumor, anticancer, antidiabetic, and anti-hypertriglyceridemia agent, mainly due to its phytochemical constituents such as phenolic and volatile compounds. The phytochemicals in cinnamon can be extracted from different parts of plant by distillation and by solvent extraction. The use of cinnamon in food and its ability to prevent oxidation and inhibit microbial growth are covered in this review. Its bioaccessibility, safety, and consumer acceptance are comprehensively discussed. This review also clearly shows a route to the use of cinnamon as an ingredient in functional foods.

“…The decrease in DPPH radical activity with time may be responsible for the degradation of hydrogen-or electron-donating agents, such as phenolic compounds, during autoxidation. [15] It has been reported that antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids have excellent DPPH radical scavenging activity as a result of their hydrogen-donating ability, [40,41] thus delaying the onset of the oxidation process in lipids. Flavonoids are particularly important because they have been found to create antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity in foods, and their antioxidant capacities are much stronger than those of vitamins C and E. [42] On the other hand, several studies have conclusively shown correlations between total polyphenol (flavonoid) content and antioxidative activity in fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices.…”

“…[15,32] In vitro, the primary or secondary oxidation products and free radical scavenging activity, such as DPPH and oxygen radical absorbent capacity, are well known and commonly measured parameters.

“…CP is considered to have antimicrobial [17] and carminative properties, [18] and many studies have confirmed its antioxidant activity. [15,[19][20][21] For evaluating antioxidant potency, assays for radical scavenging ability and assays that test ability to inhibit lipid oxidation are commonly used. [22] Radical scavenging ability tests measure the reduction in either stable radicals or radicals generated by radiolysis, photolysis, or other reactions.…”

The antioxidant activity of Chinese parsley was evaluated as compared to the synthetic antioxidant ethoxyquin during storage at 45 • C for 42 days. The oxidative stabilities of diets were determined according to the changes in headspace oxygen consumption, the formation of oxidation products, and the DPPH radical scavenging activity. The results achieved using different oxidation parameters showed a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in oxidation products and high DPPH radical scavenging activity, suggesting that Chinese parsley is effective in retarding lipid oxidation over a long storage period. On the other hand, the efficiency of ethoxyquin decreased as it was degraded over time. In addition, DPPH radical scavenging activity was strongly correlated (R 2 = 0.98, P < 0.01) with the content of caffeic acids, one of the simple polyphenols in Chinese parsley, and thus, caffeic acid may be responsible for the improved oxidative stability. Therefore, results suggested that Chinese parsley, a commonly used plant, can be safely used as a natural antioxidant alternative to synthetic additives for long-term storage in the feed or food industry.
