CINNAMON OR TRUE CINNAMON - Intercom Exports

Recommendations

Info

Is colourless to pale yellowish-brown, similar in odour to stem-batk oil but weaker, camphoraceous and lacking in fragrance. The major component is camphor upto 60% , which crystallizes out on standing, plus 1,8-cinneole upto 16% and eugenol upto 5%. Oil yield from root bark at 1-2.8% is higher than leaf and stem bark. Root- bark oil is produced only in Sri Lanka when an exhausted plantation is replanted and is usually added to other cinnamon oils.

Cinnamon quills are exported in bundles packed in 25 kg bales covered with jute sacking and bound with metal strapping. Cinnamon destined for grinding is packed in pressed bales to reduce bulk. Cassia is also packed in 50 kg bales nut is not compressed. Monimum quantities required are normally 5 ton lots. Cinnamon bark oil is packed in 10 kg capacity screw-top aluminium containers, 2 containers to a case. Cinnamon leaf oil and cassia leaf oil are packed in epoxy-resin lined 180-200 kg capacity steel drums. For small quantities, the oils may be packed in high- density polyethylene[HDPE] containers but lengthy storage there in is not recommended. Minimum quantities purchased by importers vary from as little as 20 kg for the expensive oil to 1 ton lots for the leaf oil. The cassia and cinnamon oleoresins are usually packed in polyvinyl chloride[PVC] plastic pails of 15, 20 or 25 kg capacity each. Minimum quantities are variable but could be as little as 50-100 kg, although larger quantities are preferred. STORAGE OF CINNAMON AND FUMIGATION Containers of cinnamon should be stored in covered dry premises, well- protected from the sun, rain and excessive heat. The store-room should be dry, free from objectionable odours and proofed against entry of insects and vermins. The ventilation should be controlled so as to give good ventilation under dry conditions and to be fully closed under damp conditions. In a storage ware house, suitable facilities should be available for fumigation as well. TRANSPORT OF CINNAMON The containers should be so handled and transported that they are protected from the rains, from the sun or other sources of excessive hest, from objectionable odours and from cross infestation, especially in the holds of ships. BIOTECHNOLOGY IN CINNAMON In cinnamon, a perennial tree spice crop, identification and clonal multiplication of high yielding genotypes becomes an immediate priority due to the long pre-bearing period. Standardization of micro propogation methods will help in rapid multiplication of ‘elite’ planting material in this crop. Micro propogation of clove and cinnamon from seedlings has been reported. Mature cinnamon and camphor trees could also be successfully micropropogated by shoot tip culture in WPM supplemented with BAP[3 mg/l] and Kinetin[1mg/l] and the
