Product Description
Isovanillin is a phenolic aldehyde and a chemical isomer of vanillin, differing in the positions of the hydroxyl and methoxy groups on the benzene ring. It is a key organic intermediate and flavoring agent known for its distinct, sweet, creamy, and vanilla-like aroma. While less common than vanillin, Isovanillin is highly valued for its unique scent profile and is used extensively in the flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries as a building block for more complex molecules.
