Relevant research continues to deepen, and the application fields of cumin aldehyde are expected to expand

Cuminaldehyde, also known as 4-isopropylbenzaldehyde and dillaldehyde, is an organic natural product extracted from plants. Cuminaldehyde appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid. It is insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform, ethanol, acetone, and benzene. Cuminaldehyde has a strong fennel aroma and can be used to manufacture spice products, pharmaceutical intermediates, and pesticides. And pesticide intermediates, daily flavors, cosmetics and other products.

Cumulaldehyde can be divided into two categories: natural cuminaldehyde and synthetic cuminaldehyde. Natural cuminaldehyde mainly includes cumin oil, cinnamon oil, fennel, acacia oil, cumin essential oil, white lemon oil, eucalyptus oil, Among substances such as bitter orange oil; the synthesis of cuminaldehyde can be synthesized by reduction of 4-isopropylbenzoyl chloride, or by benzoylation reaction using cumene (cumene) as the substrate. In recent years, with the growth of market demand, the production of natural cumyl aldehyde is not enough to meet the market demand, and the market share of synthetic cumyl aldehyde has gradually increased.

According to the “China Cuminaldehyde Market Feasibility Research Report 2022-2026” released by the Industrial Research Center, according to different application fields , Cumin aldehyde can be divided into food grade, cosmetic grade, industrial grade, etc. In terms of packaging, storage and transportation methods, solid cumyl aldehyde packaging methods include cardboard barrels, woven bags, kraft paper bags, cartons, aluminum foil bags, etc.; liquid cumyl aldehyde Aldehyde packaging methods include plastic barrels, galvanized iron barrels, etc.

my country is a major producer of chemical raw materials. There are many suppliers related to cumyl aldehyde in the country, but overall they are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, including Hubei Xinkang Pharmaceutical Chemical Industry, Hefei Tianjian Chemical Industry, Yixing Xingyu Pharmaceutical Chemical Industry, Jiuding Chemical (Shanghai) Technology, Hubei Mackays Refining Technology, etc. Due to their small scale and low R&D level, most domestic cumin aldehyde companies do not have the ability to compete with international companies.

Cumin is the second largest spice crop after pepper. It is rich in essential oils and has a strong aroma. Cumin has multiple health effects such as anti-allergy, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, cold and dehumidification, etc., and has attracted the attention of researchers at home and abroad. . Cumin essential oil is mainly extracted from cumin, and cumin aldehyde is one of the main components of cumin essential oil. As research continues to deepen, cuminaldehyde also shows good application prospects in the field of medicine and health care. As a bioactive small molecule compound, cuminaldehyde can inhibit the fibrosis of α-synuclein and can be suitable for the development of drugs for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body dementia, and multiple system atrophy.

Industry analysts said that cumyl aldehyde has a strong anise aroma and is suitable for manufacturing spices, pesticides and intermediates, medicines, cosmetics, etc. , in recent years, with the expansion of application fields, the market demand for cumin aldehyde has been continuously released. my country is a major producer of chemical raw materials. There are many suppliers of cumyl aldehyde in the country, but the scale of enterprises varies, with most small and medium-sized enterprises. Against the background of intensifying market competition and deepening supply-side reform, backward companies with cumyl aldehyde have less room for development. .
