Bark:
Various Cinchona species (brown, red, yellow, pale yellow cinchona) contain alkaloids such as cinchonine, cinchonidine, quinidine, and quinine, which are primarily known for their antimalarial* properties.
Cinnamomum cassia (cinnamon) contains cinnamaldehyde, cinnamate, and cinnamic acid in its inner bark, providing anti-inflammatory effects and acting as a flavoring* agent.
This list effectively shows how different types of bark yield distinct compounds with significant medicinal and culinary uses.
