Product Application

Vanillin is a synthetic or nature‑identical flavoring agent. It can be produced from lignin in whey sulfite waste liquors, or synthesized via guaiacol and eugenol. Ethyl vanillin, a related compound, delivers about 3.5 times the flavor intensity of vanillin. Vanillin is also the main aroma component in natural vanilla extract, which comes from vanilla bean extraction. It is widely used as a vanilla extract alternative in ice cream, desserts, bakery products and drinks at concentrations ranging from 60 to 220 ppm.
