Ethyl vanillin propylene glycol acetal is a synthetic flavoring compound derived from ethyl vanillin and propylene glycol. It is widely used as a high-intensity vanilla flavor ingredient in food, beverages, confectionery, bakery products, dairy products, and flavor compositions. Compared with ethyl vanillin, the acetal structure provides improved aroma stability and controlled release properties. It is also used in fragrances and cosmetic formulations.
