Abstract: Cinnamon oil is distilled with steam distillation. Cinnamon oil from industrial production extraction conditions by steam distillation were redistilled. The experimental results showed that the optimum condition was 1 600 kg of cinnamon leaf, the amount of steam 12 kg/min, distillation time 2.0 h. Under this condition, cinnamon oil yield was 1.18%. The paper also showed that the content of cinnamon oil in aromaticwater was considerable. It makes up more than 60% of total cinnamon oil, and also had a high content of cinnamic aldehyde. It could reach 89.2%.

Key words: cinnamon oil, extraction conditions, redistillation
