Natural vanillin is popular, and vanilla bean extract may be the fastest growing product segment
Vanillin, also known as vanillin, its chemical name is 3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, is an organic compound extracted from the vanilla bean of the Rutaceae plant. Vanillin can be divided into two categories: natural vanillin and synthetic vanillin. Among them, the main source of natural vanillin is divided into two ways: vanillin bean extraction and biotechnology synthesis of natural raw materials. Vanillin is widely used in various foods, soaps, toothpastes, perfumes, rubber, plastics, and pharmaceuticals that require flavoring.
