Overview

Vanillin gives vanilla its characteristic sweet, creamy aroma. Natural vanilla pods contain only about 2% vanillin, so most vanillin used worldwide is produced from guaiacol or lignin. It is one of the most widely used flavour ingredients in the food industry.

Ethyl vanillin, a related molecule, is two to four times stronger and is often used alongside vanillin. Vanillin is also used to mask bitterness in pharmaceuticals, in gourmand fragrances and as a palatant in animal feed. It yellows on exposure to light and air.

Questions

Vanillin, answered.

Ethyl vanillin is a related molecule about two to four times stronger than vanillin, with a slightly different, creamier note. Many flavours combine both.

Vanillin is supplied as a synthetic material. Natural vanillin, made from sources such as ferulic acid and permitted as natural under some regulations, can be offered on request.

Vanillin slowly oxidises and discolours on exposure to light and air. Keeping it tightly sealed, cool and dark preserves its colour and quality.
