General description

Isoeugenol is an isomer of eugenol found in essential oils, soaps, wine, monsoon coffee, and various herbs and plants. It acts as a flavoring and storage agent, and has antioxidant properties. It is used to produce vanillin, essential oils, flavorings, and perfumes. It is an essential oil ingredient, recognized as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) and approved as a food flavoring agent.

Application

Isoeugenol is used as a starting material to produce vanillin through a biological process.
