Vanillin is a flavor.

Ethylvanillin, a very powerful aromatic compound

Although synthetic, the ethylvanillin brings the same taste as natural vanillin but has an aromatic power 3 to 4 times higher.

This is why it should be dosed sparingly so as not to generate a bitter taste.

As a DIY additive, its role is to harmonize the flavors by highlighting the discrete aromas and tempering the dominant notes.

It allows to rectify a recipe by rebalancing the mixture. It often saves a wrong mix.

The dosage of ethyl vanillin

Because of its exceptional aromatic power, the dosage must be very controlled.

It is generally recommended to add 1 drop per ml to create harmony of tastes.

Vanillin only for electronic cigarette?

Although this product makes it possible to make your own liquid, it is primarily a food flavor that is easily invoked in desserts, drinks or yogurts.

• Vanillin dosage for cake: you can use liquid vanillin in your pastry preparation as well.

We recommend a dosage ranging from a teaspoon (4ml) to a tablespoon (10ml) to obtain the desired vanilla taste.

What to replace vanillin?

Attempting to replace vanillin with a classic vanilla flavor will not have the same impact on a recipe as it will become the dominant note, not the flavor enhancer.
