Cinnamon leaf on distillation yields cinnamon leaf oil, the main constituent of which is eugenol (60-70%). The bark oil yield varies from traces to 3.85% in the germplasm accession with SL5 recording maximum.C.cassia is preffered by some due to its high aroma. Unlike cinnamon, various parts of C.cassia contain only one type of essential oil in which cinnamaldehyde is the main constituent. Leaf oil content of cassia ranges from 0.7-2%. A study carried out to find out the relation between colours of young flushes and quality parameters revealed that the plants with purple coloured flushes have about 29% more bark oil as compared to plants with green coloured leaf flushes.
YIELD After attaining proper yielding stage yield/ha is 200-300 kg bark and 35 kg leaf oil per year. Improvement in yield is envisaged by selecting high yielding high quality types. In the yield evaluation study, emphasis is given to fast- growing types with high regeneration capacity as the final yield is based on the growth rate of the seedlings which is coppiced once in 2 years for extracting the bark. In the yield evaluation studies, 9 high quality lines identified by NRCS has been assessed for their general vigour and regeneration capacity, for both seedlings and clonalprogenies. Seedling progenies were found to be better than the clonal progenies in their performance in the fifth year after planting. There is ample scope for upgrading the cinnamon quality through inter specific hybridization between C. verum and C. cassia. HARVESTING The cinnamon harvesting starts from the fiourth or fifth year after planting, depending upon the availability of peeler shoots. Stems are cut during rains to facilitate peeling. The best time for peeling is when new flushes and leaves are hardened after rains. There are cutting seasons in South India, which more or less synchronise with 2 monsoons. The appropriate time for cutting shoots for peeling is determined with reference to the circulation of sap between the wood and the corky layer. The sap flow generally occurs soon after the onset of monsoon showers I,e, by about June and November for the South West and North East monsoons respectievely. The sap flow and time for peeling are judged by the peelers by making a test cut on the stem with a sharp knife. If the bark separates readily, cutting should commence immediately, otherwise sich shoots which donot satisfy the test,are left for a future occasion. The shoots should be of atleast 2 years growth with the bark having a uniform brown colour and should have attained a length of 1 to 1.25 m and a thickness of not less than 1.25 cm. Shoots, satiafying these requirements, are cut and bundled after removing leaves and terminal shoots. Regular peeling operations commence from fourth or fifth year. The best quality is obtained from thin bark of shoots in the center from the middle portion of shoots. Fully developed cinnamon shoots of 1.5-3.0 cm diameter , harvested during rainy season (July- August) , GIVE GOOD QUALITY BARK AND HIGH YIELD. FROM THE FIRST
