Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) is one of the most influential antimicrobial medicinal herbs belonging to Lauraceae family. It is a tropical evergreen tree which originated from Sri Lanka and being cultivated in Sri Lanka, Madagascar and India. Cinnamon essential oil (CEO) has been applied in food, seasonings, cosmetics and medical industries because of its aromatic, antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic activities. The present study was carried out to identify the functional compounds through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) in oil of Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) due to its significant antimicrobial properties. The vibration assignments, intensities and wavenumbers of dominant peaks were obtained by absorption of the spectrum. Cinnamaldehyde was found to be the main compound in the essential oil of cinnamom on FITR analysis.
