Abstract

Essential oil is one of the export commodities in Indonesia. Therefore, essential oils receive considerable attention from the government. In addition to being used as raw materials for flavourings and fragrances, essential oils are also reported to have biological activities, including antioxidants, anti-ageing, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, Cinnamon bark essential oil (Cinnamomum burmannii) produced by the distillation method. The essential oil obtained is liquid with a yellow tint and has characteristic aromatic cinnamon. This study aims to obtain content related to compounds and the availability of data on the antioxidant activity of cinnamon, the method used is DPPH. The chemical components of cinnamon bark essential oil analyzed using the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometry (GC-MS) tool contained 50 compounds with 7 main compounds, namely Cinnamaldehyde (71.48%) which is the highest compound content among other compounds, Alpha-Pinene (2.85%), Camphene (1.38%), Beta-Pinene (1.42%), Eucalyptol (3.79%), Acetic Acid (9.62%), Caryophyllene oxide (2.53%). The value of 𝐼𝐶 50 of cinnamon essential oil of 11,793 ppm indicates that cinnamon essential oil has a very strong antioxidant activity.
