Usage

General Description

2-Ethyl-3-methoxybenzoic acid, also known as ethyl vanillin or vanilla ethyl ether, is a synthetic compound commonly used as a flavoring and fragrance agent in the food and beverage industry. It is derived from vanillin, the main component of natural vanilla bean extract, and is often preferred for its cheaper cost and more stable properties. This chemical is commonly used in the production of baked goods, confections, and beverages to impart a sweet, vanilla-like aroma and flavor. It is also used in the manufacturing of perfumes and cosmetics for its pleasant scent. Additionally, 2-Ethyl-3-methoxybenzoic acid has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
