OIL LINE AND THE OIL CONTENT – CASSIA CINNAMON

The oil content plays an important role in purchasing Cassia Cinnamon. The higher the oil content, the higher the quality and it would take much more.

Oil Content, how do you determine them without analyzing from the labs. And maybe by visual only?

Introducing The Oil Line – How much oil left on your Cassia.

Oil Line is the darker part on the inner of your Cassia.

As on the above picture, the Cassia Stick on your left has much more oil than the one on your right.

The Oil Content also play an important role on your Cassia Cinnamon roll up rate, if your Cassia happen to content more oil inside, they would likely to roll up more.

The two above Cigar Cassia were dried in the same process and time, but the Cassia Cigar on the left has much more oil. As a result, he will be able to rolled much more than his brother on the right.

However, it doesn’t mean that the Cassia, which is more rolled up, has to bring more oil.

That is applied to storage as well. Also, the longer the cassia is stored, the darker/ more brown/reddish they become.

MY CASSIA HAS BEEN STORED FOR A LONG TIME, BUT THEIR OIL LINE STAY THE SAME, IS IT A MIRACLE?

Miracle or not, it depends on your point of view. But first, please have a look at the difference between Volatile Oil and Fixed Oil on Google.

Basically, in Cassia, Volatile Oil will be able to evaporate through time. But Fixed Oil in Cassia will not.

Those Cassia Cinnamon content Volatile Oil and those content Fixed Oil are two different species. Saigon Cinnamon and Chinese Cinnamon belong to Volatile Oil type.

The Oil Line in Fixed Oil Cassia will be much much darker then those in Volatile Oil Cassia. And they will stay the same over time.

I will be back on another article for the details to distinguish them.

Anyway, thank you very much for supporting and reading up till this point.

Hope that my article will help you in your Cassia Cinnamon purchasing mission.
