General description

Vanillyl alcohol belongs to the phenolic group of compounds which are widely used as oxidants in food products.

Application

Vanillyl alcohol may be used as a reference standard for the determination of vanillyl alcohol in:
  • Processed lignin samples by ultra-high performance supercritical fluid chromatography combined with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPSFC-QTOF-MS).
  • Herb liqueurs by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID), GC with mass spectrometry operating in electron impact (EI) mode and high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) detection.
  • Aqueous extracts of sesame (Sesanum indicum) oil by LC with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) equipped with electrospray ionization source (ESI).
  • Tall gastrodia tuber by HPLC-UV.

Polylactide (PLA)-based polymers, functionalized with biobased antioxidants, were synthesized, to develop an intrinsically active, biobased and potentially biodegradable material for food packaging applications. To achieve this result, phenolic antioxidants were exploited as initiators in the ring opening polymerization of l-lactide.
