Natural vanillin powder is extracted from vanilla beans harvested from vanilla, which has a better taste and aroma but is costly. Due to the limited supply of natural vanilla beans, natural vanillin has a very low share of the global market.
synthetic vanilla extract are more economical and affordable. A large share of vanillin currently on the market is synthesized from petrochemicals or lignin. Guaiacol or eugenol are usually used as raw materials. It is widely used in the food, beverage and flavor industries.
But this process is harmful to the environment, so it is important to have environmentally friendly, efficient and sustainable production methods.
Biological production: Another production method is to use yeast or bacteria to genetically engineer vanillin from renewable resources such as sugar or cellulose.
Vanillin market
China is the world's largest producer of bulk vanillin, accounting for about 70% of the world's total output, of which exports account for 60%. China's vanillin production capacity is large and its production technology is advanced. The vanillin supplied by our company is of high quality and cost-effective, and is highly competitive in the global market.
