Ethyl Vanillan Powder

[WallyO]

Never tried Ethyl Vanillin Powder but have some on order. Would this be mixed like the EM crystals? 10% powder 90%PG or VG?
What kind of flavor can I look forward to? Is this different than all the vanilla flavors out there?

I usually mix it at 5% in PG/VG. Tastes like vanilla to me, a little stronger supposedly.

Thanks Robert... I did some searching this AM and here was one find...

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.

Ethyl vanillin is a synthetic compound that is 3½ times stronger in flavor than real vanilla, although the flavor is not quite the same. It is used as a substitute for vanilla in foods and perfumes, because it is less expensive and keeps better in storage and transport. It is closely related to the slightly smaller molecule methyl vanillin.

Fantastic Flavours Pty Ltd - Welcome
Artificial Vanilla: Most of the vanilla sold in commercial products is made using ethyl vanillin., hence it is artificial as ethyl vanillin does not occur in nature. Some of the first vanillas used coumarin (new mown hay) but this aroma has now been banned. Had a fantastic aroma and may still be used in tobacco flavours. Present in several natural products with Tonka beans having the highest concentration. Cinnamon contains coumarin! Lots of French perfumes contain coumarin. On a summers day as the hay dries you can smell it in the air. Has been replaced by dihydro coumarin in some vanillas. Heliotropine is also used as well as butter components. Ethyl Vanillin is about 3 to 4 times stronger than vanillin and has better stability. In propylene glycol based flavours vanillin and ethyl form acetals.Because vanillin is cheap most vanilla flavours are very strong and hence any losses due to reactions with the food are not noticed.

I should have my order in Monday so I'll do some playing around with it next week. I have a couple mixes that are a bit blah so I'll try adding to them first and see if there is any improvement to my tastebuds.

I should invest in the powder, I enjoy the TFA Vanillin per mix concentrate they offer- Once you mix it I would suggest 5% added to your base or mix

It turns a lovely pink color after it steeps for a few days, that is how it lets you know its ready

I have some sitting in my DIY box that I'll occasionally add to bakery and tobacco mixes. I never even considered using it as a stand-alone. I'll give that a try this weekend.

I mix it just as you would EM crystals. Mine has turned a deep amber color.

 

[eikon]

yes, treat it just like EM crystals, 1gram per 10ml pg

Finally got my Ethyl Vanillin Powder today. When I was way younger I used to pig out on Nabisco Vanilla Wafers. Not the round ones. The long creme filled ones with a wafer on each side. This powder smells exactly like them, I love it.
Mixed one batch at 10% but that odor does not seem prominent enough yet. I'm doing another at 30% and I'll see how that blends and see if any settles out overnight. Hopefully I'll be able to transfer that childhood smell over to some of my juices. That will be awesome.
