Description

Ethyl Vanillin is a high-purity synthetic flavoring agent, chemically known as 3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde. It is prized for its intense, sweet, creamy vanilla aroma and flavor, which is approximately 2-3 times stronger than standard vanillin. This compound is essential for formulators seeking consistent, high-impact flavor profiles and enhanced stability in demanding applications. It is a critical ingredient for the food & beverage, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries worldwide.

Application

• Food & Beverage Flavoring: Primary use in chocolates, confectionery, baked goods, ice cream, dairy products, and beverages to impart a rich, sweet vanilla note.
• Fragrance & Perfumery: Key component in fine perfumes, soaps, detergents, and cosmetic products for its warm, balsamic, and creamy scent.
• Pharmaceutical Syrups & Elixirs: Used as a flavor-masking agent in oral liquid medications, cough syrups, and chewable tablets to improve palatability.
• Tobacco Flavoring: Applied in tobacco products to enhance and smooth the overall flavor profile.
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other fine chemicals and specialty polymers.
