Application


  • Decoding the Effect of Running on Flavor Perception Changes during Consumption of Sports Drinks.: This study explores how physical exercise affects the perception of flavors in sports drinks, with ethyl cinnamate playing a role in altering taste perception during and after running (Pu et al., 2024).

  • Ethyl cinnamate suppresses tumor growth through anti-angiogenesis by attenuating VEGFR2 signal pathway in colorectal cancer.: This paper discusses the inhibitory effects of ethyl cinnamate on tumor growth in colorectal cancer by interfering with the VEGFR2 signaling pathway, thereby reducing angiogenesis and tumor progression (Wang et al., 2024).
