Vanillylacetone Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Food flavorings

Vanillylacetone also called zingerone , is a food spice which is allowed to be prepared   appropriately according to production needs by Chinese "Sanitary Standards of Using Food Additives" (GB 2760-1996),its chemical name is 4-(4-hydroxy 3-methoxyphenyl)-2-butanone. Yellow or light amber crystal (acetone, petroleum ether or ethyl ether-petroleum ether), at room temperature, after long time ,it becomes to a viscous liquid.It  has a strong irritating odor like spicy ginger and ginger-like pungent taste,it has a sweet, spicy, full-bodied and deep floral aroma, fragrance lasts for a long time. The relative density is 1.138~1.139 (25 ℃), melting point 40~41 ℃, boiling point 290 ℃ (102 ℃), refractive index 1.544~1.545. It  can be dissolved in 50% ethanol in 1:1 ratio , slightly soluble in water and petroleum ether, soluble in dilute alkali. In the steam it slowly evaporates. When heated ,it can deoxidate silver nitrate ammonia solution; and it can react with an alcohol solution of ferric chloride to turn to green. It is derived from the Zingiber officinale essential oils , Vanillylacetone is the main constituent of ginger oil . After the condensation reaction of vanillin and acetone,it is obtained through hydrogenation .it is used as a full-bodied flavor sweeteners and edible flavorings. In the perfumed products ,it can have a "leather", "tobacco" flavor. It is not easy to change color.
