Methyl cinnamate is one of the most unique organic compounds. Its physical properties are rich and diverse, and it plays an important role in many fields.
Looking at its properties, methyl cinnamate is a colorless to light yellow oily liquid at room temperature, just like the warm and beautiful jade, exuding a unique fragrance, like a floral and fruity intertwined rhyme, floating in the air, making people feel happy.
When it comes to the melting point, it is about -8 ° C. Under this temperature, it is like a sleeping spirit, stable and quiet. The boiling point is quite high, reaching 260 ° C - 262 ° C, just like the high temperature has been tested, showing its toughness. At this boiling point, it is like a phoenix nirvana, completing the transformation of the state.
Its density is 1.091 - 1.099 g/cm ³, and the texture is solid, as if it contains endless energy. The refractive index is between 1.559 - 1.565, and the light is shining, refracting a different luster, which is as charming as a dream.
Methyl cinnamate is insoluble in water, just like the independent Guru, it does not blend with water. But it can dissolve with organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, just like a friend meeting and blending with each other.
In addition, it also has a certain stability, and can maintain its own characteristics for a long time under normal conditions. However, in case of open flames and hot topics, it will also be awakened like a sleeping beast, with the danger of burning.
Such unique physical properties make it shine in the field of fragrances and add charming charm to many perfumes; in the field of medicine and chemical industry, it is also an important raw material, helping the synthesis of many drugs and contributing to human health.

Cinnamic acid formic acid is an organic compound with unique properties. This substance is liquid at room temperature, with a clear and transparent appearance, and a fragrant fragrance, like the fresh smell of mountains and forests, which is pleasing.
In terms of its chemical activity, cinnamic acid formic acid contains carbon-carbon double bonds and ester groups. Carbon-carbon double bonds have high reactivity and are prone to addition reactions. In case of bromine water, the electron cloud density above the double bond is quite high, and the bromine molecule is affected by it. Heterocleavage is bromine positive ion and bromine negative ion. Bromine positive ion binds to double bond, and then forms dibromide. This reaction fades the color of bromine water, which is an important chemical property.
Furthermore, ester groups are also key functional groups. Under acidic or alkaline conditions, it can be hydrolyzed. In acidic media, hydrolysis is a reversible reaction to form cinnamic acid and formic acid; in alkaline environments, hydrolysis is more thorough, resulting in cinnamate and formate. This hydrolysis property is of great significance in organic synthesis and biological metabolism.
The stability of cinnamic acid formic acid also has something to show. Although it has a certain activity, it is quite stable under conventional storage conditions. However, it needs to avoid high temperature, open flame and strong oxidants. Due to the action of high temperature or strong oxidants, it can cause complex reactions between carbon-carbon double bonds and ester groups, or change the molecular structure and cause its chemical properties to change.
In addition, cinnamic acid has good solubility in organic solvents, such as ethanol and ether, which can be miscible with it. This property helps it play an important role in organic synthesis and drug development as a solvent or reaction substrate.

The preparation method of cinnamyl formate is not detailed in ancient books, but according to today's chemical techniques, it can be obtained by the following paths.
First, cinnamyl alcohol and formic acid are used as raw materials and obtained by esterification. This reaction requires acid as a catalyst, such as sulfuric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid. At a suitable temperature and reaction time, the hydroxyl group of cinnamyl alcohol and the carboxyl group of formic acid dehydrate and condensate to form an ester bond, which in turn generates cinnamic acid formic acid. During the reaction process, attention should be paid to the regulation of temperature. If it is too high, it is easy to cause side reactions and affect the purity of the product; if it is too low, the reaction rate is slow and takes a long time.
Second, it can be prepared by acyl chloride method. Formic acid is first converted into formyl chloride, and commonly used reagents such as thionyl chloride. Formalyl chloride has high activity and reacts rapidly with cinnamon alcohol, which can efficiently generate cinnamic acid formic acid. However, this process needs to be operated in an anhydrous environment, because formyl chloride is very easy to hydrolyze in contact with water. And the hydrogen chloride gas produced by the reaction must be properly handled to prevent environmental pollution.
Or use the transesterification method. Using a formate ester and cinnamon alcohol as the reactant, under the action of a catalyst, the exchange of ester groups occurs to generate cinnamic acid formic acid. The advantage of this method is that the reaction conditions are relatively mild and some raw materials are easy to obtain. However, precise control of the reaction conditions is also required to achieve higher yield and purity. < Br >
The preparation of cinnamic acid formic acid requires weighing the advantages and disadvantages of each method according to the actual situation, selecting the best one and carefully adjusting the reaction conditions to obtain satisfactory results.

Starch sodium octenyl succinate is a commonly used food additive. When using it, many points must be paid attention to.
The first dosage should be controlled. The "Standard for the Use of Food Additives" clearly stipulates the maximum amount used in each food category, and must be strictly adhered to. Excessive application may cause abnormal food properties, and may have adverse effects on human health. If it is used in prepared milk, the amount added should be in accordance with the specifications to avoid destroying the original quality of the dairy product.
This is the scope of application. This additive is suitable for a wide variety of foods, such as food products, dairy products, beverages, etc. However, not all foods can be added. Be sure to clarify its scope of application before use to prevent illegal addition. Like some specific traditional foods, it has its inherent production process and raw material requirements. If it is added rashly, it may damage the traditional flavor and characteristics of the food.
Furthermore, pay attention to dissolution and dispersion. Sodium starch octenyl succinate has different dissolution properties in water. When using it, you need to choose the appropriate dissolution method and conditions according to its characteristics. Generally speaking, you can first make it into a paste with an appropriate amount of cold water, then slowly pour hot water and stir it continuously to promote its full dissolution and uniform dispersion. Otherwise, it is easy to see agglomeration, which not only affects the appearance of the food, but also makes it difficult to achieve the expected thickening, emulsification and other effects.
Fourth, consider the interaction with other additives. In food production, a variety of additives are often used in combination. When sodium starch octenyl succinate coexists with other additives, it may interact. For example, it is used in combination with some emulsifiers, or synergistically enhance the emulsification effect; but it encounters with part of the electrolyte, or causes its viscosity to change. Therefore, it should be experimentally explored before use to understand the interaction between different additives to ensure the stability of food quality.
Finally, pay attention to storage conditions. This additive should be stored in a dry, cool and ventilated place, away from heat sources and moisture. Improper storage may cause it to absorb moisture, agglomerate, deteriorate, and impair its performance. After taking it, seal the package in time to prevent it from being affected by environmental factors.
