Ethylvanillin

Ethylvanillin (3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) is a synthetic aromatic aldehyde widely used as a flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient. It is a white to pale yellow crystalline powder with a strong, sweet vanilla-like odor, but more intense than natural vanillin. Ethylvanillin offers excellent flavor stability, solubility in alcohol and oils, and is valued for its enhanced vanilla aroma in food, beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical formulations. Due to its potent scent and flavor profile, it is a preferred substitute or complement to natural vanilla extract.
