| Overview | vanillin is the first human flavor, synthesized successfully in 1874 by Dr. M. Halman and Dr. G. They are generally divided into methyl vanillin and ethyl vanillin. (1) methyl vanillin: white or yellowish crystal, with vanilla aroma and strong milk aroma, is the largest variety in the perfume industry, it is the main ingredient of the cream vanilla flavor, which is popular among people. Its use is very extensive, such as in the food, daily chemical, tobacco industry as a flavor raw material, flavoring agent or fixative, including beverages, candy, cakes, biscuits, bread and fried goods and other food consumption. Vanillin has not been reported to be harmful to humans. (2) ethyl vanillin: white to yellowish needle-like crystal or crystalline powder, similar to vanilla bean aroma, aroma is more concentrated than methyl vanillin. It is one of the most important synthetic spices in the world. It is an indispensable raw material in the food additive industry, and its aroma is 3-4 times that of vanillin, with a strong vanilla bean aroma, and long-lasting fragrance. It is widely used in food, chocolate, ice cream, beverage and cosmetics for daily use. In addition, ethyl vanillin can also be used as a feed additive, a brightener in the electroplating industry, and an intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry. |
| important spices | vanillin commonly known as vanillin powder, vanillin, Yunna powder, vanilline, vanillin, an important spice extracted from vanilla beans of the Rutaceae family is one of the most productive varieties of synthetic spices, and is an important raw material for the preparation of chocolate, ice cream, chewing gum, cakes and tobacco flavor. Naturally occurring in vanilla pods, as well as in clove oil, oak moss oil, Peru balsam, turbaler and benzoin. vanillin has a strong and unique vanilla bean aroma, stable aroma, not volatile at higher temperatures. Susceptible to the impact of light, gradually oxidized in the air, when alkali or alkaline material easy to change color. The aqueous solution reacts with ferric chloride to form a blue-purple solution. It can be used in many daily flavor formulations, but is mainly used in food flavors. In particular, it is widely used in candy, chocolate, beverage, ice cream, alcohol, and is also useful in tobacco flavor. There are no restrictions on IFRA. However, due to easy to cause discoloration, should pay attention to the use of white flavoring products. vanillin is also an important food flavor, as a foundation flavor, used in almost all flavor, a large number of used in the food industry, as a food flavor is widely used in bread, cream, ice cream, the amount is 0.01 to 0.04% in cakes and biscuits, and 0.02 to 0.08% in sweets. It is one of the most used spices in baked goods and can be used in chocolate, biscuits, cakes, pudding and ice cream. Before use with warm water to dissolve, the effect is better. The highest amount of baked food was 220mg/kg, and the chocolate was 970mg/kg. It is widely used in cosmetic essences as a fixative, a coordinating agent and a changing agent. It is also an important flavoring agent for beverages and foods. It is also used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical L-dopa (L-dopa), methyldopa, etc. It can also be used as a nickel, chromium metal plating brightener. |
| function and purpose | 1.

| concentrated fumaryl vanillin | concentrated fumaryl vanillin has a strong and lasting aroma of clove and vanilla, the intensity of its aroma is 16 to 25 times that of vanillin. It was successfully developed as early as the 20 s of the 20th century. The initial synthesis route is to use safrole as raw material, which is hot-pressed with potassium hydroxide alcohol solution to make ring opening, and then ethyl sodium sulfate to make ring on the hydroxyl group, finally, in ethanol solution with sulfuric acid hydrolysis to obtain concentrated fumaranillin. However, because the purity of the aroma of the product is not enough, it is rarely used in practice. A synthetic route for the preparation of concentrated fuvanillin from eugenol was developed in the 50's of the 20th century (U.S. Patent No. 2663741), and industrial production was realized. In the 60 s of the 20th century, the perfume chemists of the former Soviet Union successfully developed a synthetic route from the more cheap and easily available catechol. catechol was mono-alkylated with allyl chloride in 75% yield, followed by rearrangement in 35% ~ 38% yield, and mono-ethylated with sodium ethyl sulfate in 82% yield; finally, potassium hydroxide isomerization was used to obtain concentrated vanillin, the yield was 84%, and the melting point of the crude product after recrystallization was 85.5~86. concentrated vanillin can be used in candy, beverage, ice cream and other food flavor formulas, FEMA number 2922. Can also be used in cosmetics and soap and other cosmetic flavor formulations. It can be used not only as a fragrance, but also as a synergist and antioxidant. The former Soviet Union perfumers had different views on the aroma properties of the concentrated fumaranillin. They added it to chocolate and other food flavors and found that the product had no vanillin aroma, so it was not considered to be a substitute for vanillin in food flavors. However, when used in the perfuming test of soap, it was found that the soap with it has a strong clove and vanilla aroma. In addition, it is different from vanillin and isoeugenol, light, oxidation is very stable, The soap sample did not change color after storage. Therefore, it is suggested that the concentrated vanillin should be used in the formula of daily chemical essence, especially in the Phantom essence. |
| method for industrial production of vanillin | over 100 years of industrial production of vanillin, many synthetic approaches and methods have been studied, but there are mainly three methods used in large-scale industrial production. A. Lignin route The Lignin Sulfonate contained in the waste liquid of sulfite pulp in the paper industry is used as the raw material, which is prepared by alkaline hydrolysis at high temperature and high pressure, then dehydration and oxidation. This method is mainly used to produce vanillin in Canada and the United States. B. Guaiacol-formaldehyde route guaiacol is the most important raw material for the synthesis of vanillin. The synthetic route of guaiacol, formaldehyde and p-nitrosodimethylaniline is also called nitroso method. The former Soviet Union and China and other countries mainly used the law. C. Guaiacol-glyoxylic acid route using guaiacol and glyoxylic acid as raw materials, vanillin was prepared by condensation, oxidation and decarboxylation. The method was successfully developed by the French company Rhone-Poulenc and produced on a large scale. The glyoxylic acid used can be obtained by ozonolysis of dimethyl Maleate (German patent no. 3224795). The synthetic route is considered as the most suitable method at present because of its convenient source of raw materials, fewer reaction steps, lower cost and less pollution of three wastes. |
