Vanillin is one of the most important flavoring agents, serving as a base note in nearly all fragrance types, such as violet, orchid, heliotrope, rose, and jasmine. However, due to its tendency to cause discoloration, caution should be exercised when using it in white scented products.
Vanillin is also widely used in food, tobacco, and alcoholic beverages. It is an essential ingredient in vanilla, chocolate, and toffee flavor profiles. Additionally, it can be used to formulate vanilla-, chocolate-, and cream-type flavors, which are then applied in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
Beyond these applications, vanillin is also utilized in cosmetics and other consumer products.
