Basic Info
Trans-cinnamic acid is an organic compound with an unsaturated carboxylic acid structure. Its chemical name is (E)-3-phenylacrylic acid. Its molecular structure contains a benzene ring and an α,β-unsaturated double bond conjugated system. It is a white crystalline powder at room temperature, slightly soluble in water, easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, and has a special smell similar to honey or cinnamon. As a naturally occurring phenolic acid substance, its double bond configuration is trans (E), which is more stable than the cis isomer and is an important secondary metabolite in plants such as cinnamon.

Flavors and Flavors
Trans-Cinnamic Acid is often used as an intermediate for synthetic flavors because of its mild spicy and sweet aroma. Its own aroma can be used to prepare floral flavors such as carnations and roses, while cinnamic acid esters (such as ethyl cinnamate and benzyl cinnamate) generated by esterification reactions are widely used in daily chemicals and edible flavors, giving products a fruity sweet or vanilla-like warm flavor, which is commonly found in candies, baked goods and perfume base formulas.
Medicine and Biology
In pharmaceutical synthesis, Trans-Cinnamic Acid is an important intermediate for the preparation of anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen analogs) and antifungal agents. Its unsaturated double bond structure can enhance biological activity through chemical modification; at the same time, studies have shown that it has antioxidant and antibacterial properties, and can be added to topical preparations as a natural preservative, or used to develop functional food raw materials for regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, and has potential value in the development of natural drugs.
Organic Synthesis and Chemical Industry
As a carboxylic acid containing conjugated double bonds, Trans-Cinnamic Acid is a functional monomer for the synthesis of polymer materials. Through free radical polymerization, it can be copolymerized with monomers such as styrene and acrylate to prepare photosensitive resins or coatings with ultraviolet absorption properties, which are used in optical materials or printing industries; its carboxyl group can react with alcohols to form cinnamate, which can be used as a plasticizer to improve the flexibility of polymers, or as an active ingredient of UV curing agents in the adhesive field.
Agriculture and Plant Protection
The natural antibacterial property of Trans-Cinnamic Acid makes it a plant-based preservative in agriculture, which can extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables by inhibiting the growth of mold; its volatile components have a repellent effect on some pests (such as aphids and nematodes), and can be added to biological pesticides or used to prepare environmentally friendly insect-proof films; in addition, as a plant signal molecule analog, it can also induce disease resistance in crops and enhance the plant’s defense against fungal diseases.
Food Industry
In food processing, Trans-Cinnamic Acid can be used as a natural antioxidant to delay oil oxidation, and is often used to preserve oily foods (such as nuts and fried foods); its sodium salt form is allowed to be used as a food additive (preservative) in some countries to extend the shelf life of food by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms; at the same time, because of its unique flavor, it can also be added to condiments or beverages in small amounts as a flavor modifier to give the product a slightly spicy taste.
Daily Chemicals and Cosmetics
Derivatives of Trans-Cinnamic Acid (such as cinnamate) are often added to sunscreens as ultraviolet absorbers to absorb UVB band ultraviolet rays and protect the skin from radiation damage; its antibacterial properties make it useful in shampoo, cream and other skin care products to inhibit microbial growth and replace some chemical preservatives; in addition, aromatic esters prepared by esterification can be used as flavor ingredients for the fragrance blending of perfumes, shower gels and other products.
