Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Diss Factsheets

Administrative data

Endpoint:
boiling point
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
March - October 2013
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Non-GLP study according to protocol developed by fragrance industry. No deviations from protocol.
Cross-reference
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to same study

Data source

Reference Type:
study report
Title:
Unnamed

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: "The Registration for REACH of Natural Complex Substances used as Fragrance Ingredients" by EFFA/EFEO
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The boiling point of an essential oil is not a sharply defined characteristic because it is a mixture of substances in variable concentrations. Therefore the temperature at which the natural complex substance (NCS) begins to boil under normal atmospheric pressure shall be determined.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
distillation method

Test material

Essential oil of Cinnamon bark obtained from the bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Lauraceae by distillation
Cas Number:
8015-91-6
IUPAC Name:
Essential oil of Cinnamon bark obtained from the bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Lauraceae by distillation
Test material form:
other: Liquid
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Cinnamon bark oil
- Physical state: liquid

Results and discussion

Boiling point
Boiling pt.:
72 °C
Decomposition:
no
Remarks on result:
other: Temperature at which first distillate was observed

Any other information on results incl. tables

The following observations were made:

 The sample started to boil at a bottom temperature of 120°C

 First distillate was obtained at (head temperature) 72°C

 Head temperature reached a plateau around : no plateau reached

 Bottom temperature continued to rise due to composition change.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The boiling point of Cinnamon bark oil is 72ºC.
Executive summary:

The boiling point of cinnamon bark oil was determined according to the methodology described in "The Registration for REACH of Natural Complex Substances used as Fragrance Ingredients" by EFFA/EFEO using the distillation method. The boiling point (temperature at which first distillate was obtained) was found to be 72ºC.
