Split Cinnamon Sticks 25-45cm are natural cinnamon bark pieces split along the grain, measuring between 25 and 45 cm in length, approximately 1-2.5 cm in width, and 0.8-2 mm in thickness. The product is dried using AD (air drying) technology to retain its natural color, essential oils, and standard moisture content of ≤13.5%.

Active Compounds and Medicinal Benefits of Split Cinnamon Sticks

Split cinnamon sticks contain high concentrations of beneficial plant compounds such as:

• Cinnamaldehyde (60-80%): The compound responsible for the strong spicy aroma, with powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties.
• Eugenol: Commonly used in dentistry and natural medicine due to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects.
• Coumarin and polyphenols: Provide antioxidant benefits, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and slow down cellular aging.

According to a study by the Institute of Medicinal Materials, regular consumption of split cinnamon sticks can reduce plasma glucose levels by up to 18% after 12 weeks.

AD Drying Process Preserves Quality and Ensures Food Safety

Kentary split cinnamon sticks are dried using Air Drying (AD) technology – a modern method that:

• Retains cinnamon essential oil content from 2.5% to 4.0%.
• Preserves the characteristic reddish-brown color, avoiding burning that occurs with high-heat drying methods.
• Maintains moisture content at ≤13.5%, preventing mold growth naturally without the use of preservatives.

The entire production process complies with HACCP, ISO 22000, and ASTA standards, ensuring the product meets the strict requirements for export to demanding markets such as the USA, EU, and Japan.
