Background: Cinnamon contact stomatitis (CCS) is a rare reaction to the use of products containing artificial cinnamon flavor ingredients. Such products are gums, toothpastes and mouthwashes.
Main Observations: A 20-year-old female patient presented with white elevated mucosal patches in the right lateral board of her tongue. Based on anamnesis, the intitial diagnosis of allergy to cinnamon gum was established. Clinical differential diagnosis included hairy leukoplakia, leukoplakia and lichenoid reaction. The patient was advised to completely avoid the use of cinnamon flavoured chewing gums. On re-examination later she had a normal tongue appearance.
Conclusions: Clinicians who treat patients with oral conditions should be aware of CCS in order to be able to correctly diagnose and manage this condition.

To improve the packaging properties of pea protein isolate (PPI) films, 2 wt% of essential oil (EO) from garlic, ginger, or cinnamon was individually incorporated into the films. The film properties were evaluated after the addition of EOs. The resulting PPI active films were applied to salmon to explore their efficacy in a real food system.

To reduce the risk of -nitrosamines in deli meat products, this study formulated a novel non-contact -nitrosamines inhibiting preservative IV (NIP-IV) consisting of biocontrol bacteria and plant essential oils (EOs) ( SR-1 + PP-2 + CF-3+ cinnamon EO + grapefruit EO). Luncheon pork, spiced beef, and red sausage were taken as representatives of typical deli meat products and used to validate the effectiveness of NIP-IV in inhibiting -nitroso dimethylamine (NDMA) production. The results showed that NIP-IV restrain protein degradation and lipid oxidation in deli meat products and effectively control microbial activity.

Article Synopsis
- * A cohort of 150 women (50 with high-risk pregnancies and 100 with normal pregnancies) were surveyed to identify factors affecting breastfeeding practices, such as delivery method and maternal health issues.
- * Results indicated lower breastfeeding initiation rates and less skin-to-skin contact in the high-risk group, with illness being the primary reason for delays in starting breastfeeding, contrasting with insufficient milk in normal pregnancies.

Fragrance, a key ingredient in cosmetics, often triggers skin allergy causes rashes, itching, dryness, and cracked or scaly skin. Cinnamaldehyde (CA), derived from the bark of the cinnamon tree, used as a fragrance and is a moderate skin sensitizer. CA exhibits strong UVB absorption, its allergic potential and the molecular mechanisms underlying skin sensitization under UVB exposure remain largely unexplored.
