Product details
Vanillin powder, commonly known as vanilla powder, vanillin, vanillin powder, vanilla extract and vanillin, is an important spice extracted from vanillin bean, one of the most productive varieties of synthetic spices, and an important raw material for the preparation of chocolate, ice cream, chewing gum, pastry and tobacco flavors. It occurs naturally in vanilla pods, as well as clove oil, oak moss oil, balsam of Peru, balsam of Tolu, and balsam of Benzoin. Vanillin has a strong and distinctive aroma of vanillin, which is stable and does not evaporate at higher temperatures. It is easily affected by light, gradually oxidized in the air, and easily discolored by alkali or alkaline substances. The aqueous solution reacts with ferric chloride to form a blue-purple solution. Vanillin can be used in many daily flavor formulations, but is primarily used in food flavors. Especially in candy, chocolate, beverages, ice cream, alcohol is widely used in tobacco flavor is also very useful.
Applications and Functions of Vanillin powder
Mechanism of action of Vanillin powder.
Aroma receptor activation: The main function of vanillin is to produce a unique vanilla aroma by activating human olfactory receptors. This aroma has a pleasant, comfortable and relaxing psychological effect, which is why vanillin is widely used in perfumes and aromatherapy.
Antioxidant effect: Studies have shown that vanillin has certain antioxidant activity, which can scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative damage, and protect cells from damage. However, its antioxidant capacity may not be as strong as some other natural antioxidants (e.g., vitamin C, vitamin E, flavonoids, etc.).
Anti-inflammatory effect: Some studies have shown that vanillin may have anti-inflammatory effects, which can inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators and reduce inflammatory responses. This may help relieve the symptoms of a variety of inflammatory-related diseases.
Antibacterial effect: In vitro experiments have shown that vanillin has a certain inhibitory effect on certain bacteria and fungi, which may help fight infection. However, its antibacterial and antifungal effects in the human body need more research to confirm.
Neuroprotective effect (potential): Some preliminary studies suggest that vanillin may have a neuroprotective effect, which can protect nerve cells from damage and delay the development of neurodegenerative diseases. However, research in this area is still in its early stages and requires more high-quality clinical trials to verify.
Anti-tumor effect (potential): A large number of in vitro and animal experiments have shown that vanillin has an inhibitory effect on a variety of tumor cells, can inhibit tumor cell proliferation, induce tumor cell apoptosis, etc. However, the current human clinical trial data is still very limited, and the use of vanillin as an anti-tumor drug is still in the early stages of research and cannot replace regular cancer treatment methods.
Production methodprocess of Vanillin powder
Vanillin powder is prepared from o-anisole hydrolyzed by diazo to guaiacol, condensed with formaldehyde in the presence of nitrosodimethylaniline and catalyst, or reacted with trichloromethane catalyzed by potassium hydroxide, and then purified by extraction, vacuum distillation and crystallization.
