Cinnamon is known as an aromatic spice plant, as it contains essential oils in all parts of the plant from roots, stem, bark, leaves, flowers. Cinnamon bark is widely utilized by the community due to its numerous health benefits and antibacterial properties. This study aimed to identify the chemical composition of essential oil extracted from cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum burmannii) sourced from farmers and processors in Wonorejo Village, Gondangrejo, Karanganyar, Central Java. The research design used in this study is an experimental research design. The analysis of Cinnamomum burmanni essential oil components using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed that the primary compound was cinnamaldehyde, accounting for 92.46%. Cinnamon, also known as Cinnamomum burmanni, is one of the main components of cinnamon bark. Further research is recommended to explore the variability of the chemical composition of Cinnamomum burmannii essential oil from different regions of Indonesia and its correlation with its pharmacological potential.
