General description

Vanillic acid, also known as 4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid, is a phenolic molecule, commonly used as a building block in the synthesis of surfactants, flavorants, odorants, and plasticizers. [1] [2]

Application

  • Vanillin Synthesis from Vanillic Acid: Research focused on engineering the activity and thermostability of a carboxylic acid reductase for converting vanillic acid to vanillin, providing insights into biotechnological applications for flavor and fragrance industries (Ren et al., 2024).
  • Antioxidant Properties in Food Preservation: The antioxidant properties of vanillic acid were evaluated in a study on the preservation of postharvest quality and physicochemical properties of broccoli, suggesting its potential in extending the shelf life and nutritional quality of fresh produce (Kibar et al., 2024).
  • Biological Synthesis of Vanillin: A comprehensive review discussed various biological methods for synthesizing vanillin from vanillic acid, emphasizing its application in enhancing natural flavor profiles in the food sector (Venkataraman et al., 2024).
Vanillic acid is used as a starting material in the synthesis of:
  • aliphatic-aromatic polymers with good thermal stability and degradability [3]
  • novel polyesters via esterification and etherification reaction [4]

  1. Bu ürün deneysel çalışmada ratlar üzerinde kullanılabilir mi?

    1 answer
    1. This product has not been tested for suitability in animal studies. However, the material has been used successfully in rat studies by other researchers. Please see the link below to review an example publication:
      https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acschemneuro.5b00051#

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  3. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
