Product overview

What vanillin is and how it performs in food and beverage formulations

Vanillin is an aromatic aldehyde responsible for the primary vanilla note. In formulations it provides immediate sweet vanilla aroma and also improves overall flavor roundness by smoothing harsh notes and enhancing perceived sweetness. It is used both as a standalone flavor note and as a key building block in complex flavor systems such as chocolate, caramel, cream and bakery profiles.

Key characteristics

Ingredient name: Vanillin (food grade).
Functional role: Flavor ingredient providing vanilla notes; also used to enhance aroma and perceived sweetness in sweet systems.
Typical appearance: White to slightly off-white crystals or powder with strong vanilla aroma.
Solubility and handling:
- Soluble in alcohol and many flavor solvents; limited solubility in cold water and improved solubility in warm systems,
- Suitable for dry blending into premixes, bakery mixes and powdered beverages when mixed uniformly.
Processing stability:
- Good stability in typical baking and confectionery processes,
- Flavor intensity can be influenced by high heat, pH and long processing times; validation is recommended in your process.
Flavor interactions:
- Pairs well with cocoa, caramel, dairy, coffee, nut and fruit notes,
- Often used to round off bitterness and deliver a smoother finish.

Atlas can supply vanillin suitable for direct use in manufacturing or for flavor houses building compound profiles.

Indicative specification points

Assay (purity): typically high purity as defined by the selected standard; confirmed on COA.
Melting point range: used as an identity and purity indicator.
Moisture and volatiles: controlled for storage stability and consistent dosing.
Residue on ignition / ash: limited to confirm low inorganic impurities.
Related substances: controlled to maintain clean aroma and consistent performance.
Colour and appearance: monitored to ensure clean, consistent presentation.
Heavy metals and contaminants: within applicable limits for food ingredients.

Each lot is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and technical data sheet. On request, Atlas can coordinate allergen statements, GMO status (where applicable), origin declarations, Halal/Kosher certificates and regulatory statements depending on the selected supply chain.

Usage and formulation guidance

Dosage: depends on application and desired profile; typically used in low to moderate g/kg ranges. Optimize via sensory trials.
Addition method:
- Dry blends: premix with carriers (sugar, maltodextrin, starch) for uniform distribution,
- Liquid systems: dissolve in suitable solvent or warm phase for consistent dispersion.
Process considerations:
- High heat and long bake times can affect top notes; adjust dosing and addition timing accordingly,
- In beverages, solubility and clarity depend on solvent system and temperature.
Labelling:
- Often declared as “vanillin” or within “flavorings/flavours” depending on local rules and product type.
