Description

General description

Guaiacol is a flavor compound occurs naturally in tomatoes and wine that is matured in oak barrels.

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives . This product is a Biobased products, showing key improvements in Green Chemistry Principles “Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses” and “Use of Renewable Feedstock”.

Application

Guaiacol can be used to prepare vanillin, a well-known food flavoring agent.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Guaiacol, along with 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, is responsible for cork taint in wine. A method has been developed for extraction and quantitation of the two compounds.
