Vanilia Oil & Benefits
Vanillin is the main constituent of the vanilla pods that ensures the development of the flavour we know as vanilla. Vanillin is a white, powdery crystal with a strong vanilla scent and poorly soluble in water. The more vanillin present in a vanilla pod, the better its taste and aroma. The quality of the vanilla is closely linked to the vanillin content: higher levels mean a better quality of the vanilla beans.
The extract from real, naturally produced vanillin (compared to the artificial version) has a thicker structure and darker colour, and is speckled with seed fragments.
Besides being found as an additive to many foods, drinks, cosmetics and various remedies, does vanilla also have properties that can affect our health? It sure does! It is said to exhibit multifunctional effects such as antioxidant, anti-mutagenic, antiangiogenic and analgesic effects. Vanillin has complementary curing applications including alleviation of fever, spasms, and gastrointestinal irritations.
