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. Isoeugenol
is used in manufacturing perfumeries, flavorings, essential oils
(odor description: Clove, spicy, sweet, woody) and in medicine (local antiseptic and
analgesic) as well as vanillin. |

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.
