FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between Natural Vanilla and Vanilla Flavor?

A: Natural Vanilla flavor (often labeled as Natural WONF) derives its flavor primarily from vanilla beans. Standard “Vanilla Flavor” (Natural & Artificial) uses a blend of natural and synthetic components (like vanillin) to achieve a cost-effective, consistent, and strong vanilla taste.

Q2: What is the difference between Vanillin and Ethyl Vanillin?

A: Vanillin is the primary flavor compound in vanilla beans. Ethyl Vanillin is a synthetic derivative that is about 2.5-4 times stronger and has a slightly different, more intense sweet-creamy note, often described as “smoother.”

Q3: Is your vanilla flavor suitable for organic products?

A: We can supply flavors that are compliant with organic regulations. Please specify the required certification standard (e.g., USDA Organic, EU Organic).

Q4: How do I choose between liquid and powder vanilla?

A: Liquid vanilla is standard for most wet applications (baking, dairy, beverages). Powdered vanilla is essential for dry mixes (cake mixes, instant pudding, powdered drinks) to prevent moisture migration and ensure even distribution.

Q5: Can vanilla flavor be used in savory foods?

A: Yes, in small amounts, vanilla (or pure vanillin) is a powerful flavor enhancer that can round out and add depth to tomato-based sauces, barbecue glazes, and even some meat marinades, reducing perceived acidity and bitterness.

Q6: What is the MOQ for custom vanilla blends?

A: MOQ for a custom vanilla profile (e.g., with more creamy, spicy, or smoky notes) typically starts at 100kg. For standard catalog items, MOQ can be lower.
