Ethyl Vanillin is a potent synthetic flavoring agent that provides a flavor profile approximately three times stronger than natural vanillin. This Food Grade crystalline powder is highly valued for its intense sweet, creamy, and vanilla-like aromatic profile in industrial production.

The chemical demonstrates high thermal stability, making it ideal for baking and confectionery processes that involve high temperatures. It is produced to a 99% Purity level, ensuring consistent organoleptic properties across diverse batches of food and fragrance products.

In the fragrance industry, it serves as a fixative, helping to stabilize more volatile scents while adding a warm, balsamic note. Its white to yellowish crystalline form allows for easy dissolution in alcohol and organic solvents used in high-end perfumery.

Ethyl Vanillin
  • Food Manufacturing: Widely used in chocolate, bakery products, and dairy to provide an intense vanilla aroma at lower inclusion rates than standard vanillin.
  • Fragrance & Perfumery: Acts as a base note and aroma enhancer in oriental and floral perfumes, providing long-lasting sweetness and depth.
  • Pharmaceutical Masking: Employed to mask the bitter aftertaste of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in oral suspensions and chewable tablets.

Generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption, but classified as an Eye Irritant (Category 2) in bulk powder form. Use Dust Masks and Protective Gloves during handling to avoid respiratory irritation from fine particles.

Available in 25 kg Fiber Drums with PE inner liners or 1 kg vacuum-sealed pouches for specialty applications.
