Chemical Information
FooDB NameCinnamic acid
Descriptiontrans-Cinnamic acid, also known as (e)-cinnamic acid or phenylacrylic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cinnamic acids. These are organic aromatic compounds containing a benzene and a carboxylic acid group forming 3-phenylprop-2-enoic acid. trans-Cinnamic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. trans-Cinnamic acid is a sweet, balsam, and cinnamon tasting compound. trans-Cinnamic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as chinese cinnamons (Cinnamomum aromaticum), olives (Olea europaea), and lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) and in a lower concentration in corianders (Coriandrum sativum), american cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon), and red raspberries (Rubus idaeus). trans-Cinnamic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as black tea, broccolis (Brassica oleracea var. italica), red bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), sweet bays (Laurus nobilis), and teas (Camellia sinensis). This could make trans-cinnamic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on trans-Cinnamic acid.
