Description

Vanillin Isobutyrate is an organic compound that is used as a flavoring agent. It can be synthesized from vanillin and isobutyric acid. Vanillin Isobutyrate has antimicrobial properties, which may be due to its ability to release hydrogen peroxide when it comes in contact with water. The salt's low energy particle size makes it suitable for use in the food industry. Vanillin Isobutyrate can be synthesized by reacting vanillin with sodium hydroxide solution and carbon dioxide gas, followed by hydrolysis of the ester group.
