vanillin
Synthetic vanilla compound
Vanillin is the chemical compound that gives vanilla its characteristic flavor and aroma.
It occurs naturally in vanilla beans but is more commonly produced synthetically for use in food, fragrances, and pharmaceuticals.
Most "vanilla" flavoring in commercial products is synthetic vanillin rather than extract from actual vanilla pods.
