26、zeylanicum Blume of the Lauraceae family. Sri Lankan type cinnamon is produced in four forms: a) quills (see 3.1); b) quillings (see 3.2); c) featherings (see 3.3); d) chips (see 3.4). 4.1.2 Seychelles type cinnamon This is the bark of trunks or branches of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume, cultivated on

27、 the Seychelles. Seychelles type cinnamon is produced in three forms: a) rough cinnamon bark, which consists of slightly curved, elongated, irregular, medium or small pieces of the whole unscraped bark; b) scraped cinnamon bark, which is obtained from younger shoots from bushes of the same species;

28、the shoots are scraped with a curved knife before the bark is detached from the wood;2 ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 6539:2014ISO 6539:2014(E) c) quills and quillings, which are prepared from the young shoots, of bushes in a way similar to that used for Sri Lankan type cinnamon. 4.1.3 Madagasca

29、n type cinnamon This is the bark of trunks or branches of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume, which grows wild on Madagascar. It is produced either a) in the form of simple, hollow tubes of unscraped or scraped bark, of rather coarse appearance, about 30 cm long, cut from smaller branches with a knife, or

30、more usually b) in the form of unscraped or scraped pieces of bark from the larger branches and trunks, broken off with the flat side of a hatchet. 4.2 Commercial grades 4.2.1 Sri Lankan type cinnamon 4.2.1.1 Quills For classification, see Table 1. 4.2.1.2 Quillings Quillings may contain up to 3 % (

31、mass fraction) of featherings and chips. 4.2.1.3 Featherings Featherings may contain up to 5 % (mass fraction) of chips. 4.2.1.4 Chips Chips shall consist of well dried and unpeelable cinnamon bark. 4.2.2 Seychelles type and Madagascan type cinnamon For classification, see Table 2. 5 Ground cinnamon

32、 Ground cinnamon shall consist solely of the types of cinnamon listed in Clause 4. If there is a designation of origin, the ground cinnamon should be prepared exclusively from the barks concerned.
