The end result is synthetic vanillin, which is chemically identical to the predominant flavor component that you find in natural vanilla.

In this video, vanillin is isolated from artificial vanilla extract. The solvent used is dichloromethane, but it is likely better to use diethyl ether as it does not form an emulsion. I used ...

Vanillin is the most popular flavor compound across the globe, and students at Tokyo University of Science in Japan developed a new enzyme that uses plant waste to create vanillin.

Tokyo university reveals plant-waste vanillin with economic potential to disrupt vanilla market Professor, students at the Tokyo University of Science develop enzyme that converts plant waste into ...

Bioengineered enzyme creates natural vanillin from plants in one step Researchers develop an enzyme which can convert ferulic acid from plant waste into vanillin -- the classic vanilla flavored ...

Researchers from Tokyo University of Science have developed a novel genetically engineered enzyme which can convert ferulic acid from plant waste to vanillin in a sustainable one-step process.

Figure 1 shows the evolution of vanillin and guaiacol yields with the treatment time, not only for the treatments with the aqueous solutions of [C 2 mim] [OAc] but also for analogous ones with plain ...
