Ethyl Vanillin possesses a vanillin-like aroma, yet more delicate and refined than vanillin, with a fragrance intensity 3-4 times stronger. It is primarily used as a food flavoring in confectionery, food products, and beverages, mainly for formulating vanilla-type edible flavors, soft drinks, ice cream, chocolate, tobacco, and alcoholic beverages. It is also employed in perfumes and cosmetics.
In the food industry, its applications align with those of vanillin, particularly as a flavor enhancer for dairy-based products. It can be used either alone or in combination with vanillin, glycerol, and other ingredients. In the daily chemical industry, it serves mainly as a fragrance agent in cosmetics.
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, this product is primarily used as a flavoring agent and fragrance, often in liquid preparations containing glycerol or ethanol as diluents, as well as in semi-solid and solid preparations such as creams and granules.
