Product Information

• Name: Glucovanillin - Natural
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Glucovanillin - Natural is a biochemical compound, which is a glycoside precursor derived from vanilla beans. The source of Glucovanillin is the seed pods of Vanilla planifolia, a species of orchid native to Mexico. This compound serves as a precursor to vanillin, through enzymatic hydrolysis that occurs during the curing process of the vanilla beans. The conversion of Glucovanillin to vanillin during curing involves enzymatic action, primarily mediated by β-glucosidase, resulting in the release of the characteristic vanilla aroma.
