Vanilla flavor is one of the most appreciated flavors in the world. The growing demand in vanilla flavors cannot be met by the limited amount of vanilla beans crops; in recent years, vanilla beans prices have increased greatly due to climate issues, speculation, alongside a decrease in quality. As a result, there is a growing interest for vanillin in the food industry, the main molecule present in cured vanilla beans. This presentation will give an overview of all analytical methods including the most recent ones to show an unambiguous picture of the vanillin origins available on the market.
