- Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 586 was calculated in fish for alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde(SRC), using a log Kow of 4.70(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 680(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde is expected to have low mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 7.8X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(1). alpha-Amyl cinnamaldehyde is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 0.00431 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(1); however, alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde does volatilize in its consumer use as a perfume in soaps and detergents(3). Biodegradation is expected to be an important fate process in soil based on results of various various screening test(SRC). alpha-Amyl cinnamaldehyde, present at 100 mg/L, reached 51% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(4). Using OECD Method 301B (CO2 evolution), alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde had a 65% degradation in 28 days indicating it was readily biodegradable( Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 680(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 7.8X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 6.8 and 54 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(4), an estimated BCF of 586(SRC), from a log Kow of 4.70(5), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC). alpha-Amyl cinnamaldehyde is stable to hydrolysis in water(5); the aldehyde group has a potential to oxidize to carboxylic acid in water(5). Biodegradation is expected to be an important fate process in water based on results of various various screening test(SRC). alpha-Amyl cinnamaldehyde, present at 100 mg/L, reached 51% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(6).

- Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 0.00431 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 7.2 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 5.4X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(2). Vapor-phase alpha-amyl cinnamaldehyde is also degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with ozone(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 12.6 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.2X10-17 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(2).

Annex records for AMYL CINNAMAL
Key data
Official EU ingredient-name evidence
The ingredient name exactly matches the official 2025 EU glossary of common ingredient names.
This substance is on the EU list of fragrance allergens that must be named individually in the ingredient list, rather than being covered by the word "parfum", once it exceeds 0.001% in a leave-on product or 0.01% in a rinse-off product.
Declaration is a labelling duty under Article 19, not a restriction on use. See the allergen record
