Introduction
Cinnamon (English), or Kayu manis (Indonesia
and malaysia), Canelle (French), Canela(Portugal) is
a spice obtained
from the inner bark of several trees from the genus Cinnamomum that
is used in both sweet and savoury foods. While Cinnamomum verum is
sometimes considered to be "true
cinnamon", most
cinnamon in international commerce is derived from related species, which are
also referred to as "cassia" to distinguish them from "true cinnamon".[1]
