Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for extracting cinnamon oil; firstly, a cinnamon powder is mixed and conditioned with an aqueous solution of sodium salts, and the conditioned cinnamon powder is obtained thereafter; subsequently, the conditioned cinnamon powder obtained was frozen and then rapidly thawed, and the thawed cinnamon powder is obtained thereafter; finally, after the thawed cinnamon powder is mixed with a gaseous solvent, pressurized liquid extraction is performed, and then after separation the cinnamon oil is obtained. The method for extracting cinnamon oil from cinnamon at a low temperature adds an aqueous solution of sodium salts to condition the cinnamon powder, uses a slow freezing process and a rapid thawing process, and finally uses a gaseous solvent, which may gasify without heating to be separated from the extract; the extraction process is kept away from air, and the heat-sensitive components are not damaged.

The composition may be in a package, a bulk mix or a product.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved process for preparing water extract of cinnamon in a large scale. The process comprises the steps of: (a) adding an aqueous solvent such as water to at least 5 kg of a cinnamon raw material at a water to material ratio of 1:1 to 100:1, (b) boiling the mixture of (a) for at least 5 minutes, (c) removing the solid debris from the mixture, (d) storing the liquid portion of the mixture at about ?5 to 25° C., preferably 0-10° C., until a top layer of oil is formed and partitioned, (e) removing the top layer of oil, and (f) collecting the remaining liquid portion. The present process prepares a cinnamon water extract product with a minimal content of potentially toxic cinnamaldehyde and coumarin, while increasing the contents of the active ingredients of polyphenolic polymers for controlling blood glucose level.

Abstract: Materials derived from cinnamon can be administered orally to humans or animals for the purpose of controlling blood glucose as well improving glucose tolerance. Controlling glucose metabolism is essential for those with impaired glucose metabolism as is the case for those with Type II diabetes where insulin function is not properly functioning. Such administration can also be used for the purpose of enhancing nutrient transport for purposes of athletic performance and controlling bodyweight and body fat levels. Similarly related, such administration can also be used for the purpose of enhancing creatine transport into excitable tissues such as skeletal muscle. The material can be administered as extracts of cinnamon and can be administered in a variety of ways including capsules, tablets, powdered beverages, bars, gels or drinks.
