How should cinnamon bark oil be transported and stored?
Cinnamaldehyde-rich oils are sensitive to heat, light and air, so transport and storage follow the 'cool, dark, sealed, full' principle. Correct handling preserves the aroma and shelf life.
Storage Conditions
| Condition | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Temperature | 5-25°C, away from heat sources |
| Light | Keep in opaque/amber containers, out of direct sunlight |
| Container | Keep sealed; minimize air headspace (transfer to smaller containers as used) |
| Material | Glass, aluminum, or lacquered steel; avoid bare iron |
| Humidity | Dry environment; avoid condensation |
| Flammability | Keep away from open flames (flash point ~80°C) |
Transport Notes
- Sea freight: drums should be stored away from heat sources (engine room bulkheads) and not exposed to direct sun on deck
- Air freight: standard non-DG packaging, keep upright, protect from extreme cold/hot hold temperatures
- Long transit in hot climates can accelerate oxidation and darkening; aluminum drums + inner lining are preferred for such routes
- Shelf life in sealed original packaging: 36 months from production (within spec); after opening, use within 12 months
- Signs of degradation: strong darkening, resinous film, harsher sharp odor — re-test before use if in doubt
