GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS |
||
| Eugenol, allyl chain-substituted guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol), is a clear to pale yellow oily liquid extracted from certain essential oils especially from clove oil and cinnamon. It is very slightly soluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. It has a spicy odor and taste of clove. Eugenol is used in perfumeries, flavorings, essential oils and in medicine (local antiseptic and analgesic). It is used in the production of isoeugenol for the manufacture of vanillin. Eugenol has wide application in dentistry for analgesic and antiseptic properties. Eugenol derivatives or methoxyphenol derivatives in wider classification are used in perfumery and flavoring. They are used in formulating insect attractants and UV absorbers, analgesics, biocides and antiseptics. They are also used in manufacturing stabilizers and antioxidants for plastics and rubbers. | ||

GENERAL DESCRIPTION VANILLIN |
||
|
Vanilla is a plant belongs to the family Orchidaceae, native to tropical
American forests. Both V. planifo¢lia Andr. (Mexican or Bourbon vanilla) and V.
tahiten¢sis Moor (Tahitian vanilla) have fruits called vanilla beans which are
picked before fully matured. Vanilla is a choice of flavoring agnet prepared
from vanilla beans with or without the addition of sugar, dextrose, or glycerol.
Vanilla extract contains soluble matter from not less than 10 grams of vanilla
beans in 100 milliliters. Vanillin (chemically 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde)
is a constituent of vanilla or is prepared synthetically.
Vanillic acid: the oxidation form of vanillin. The chemical designation is 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid. Ethamivan: the diethylamide of vanillic acid; used as a central nervous system stimulant, respiratory stimulant, and analeptic. Ethyl vanillin: white to pale yellow crystal; melting 76.5 C; having 3.5 times stronger flavour and more stable in organic solvents and in storage than vanillin but does not have the true flavour. It is used in pharmaceutical preparations and the food industry as a flavoring agent to replace or strengthen vanilla. Acetovanillon: white crystal a faint vanilla odor; melting point 115 C; soluble in hot water, alcohol, benzene, chloroform, and ether; used as a cardiotonic drug. Chemical naming is 4'-Hydroxy-3'-methoxyacetophenone. |
