Van Aroma is the leading producer of Vanillylacetone (Zingerone), a naturally occurring phenolic compound recognized as a key flavor component in ginger (Zingiber officinale). Appearing as colorless to pale crystals or a slightly yellow liquid, it is characterized by a warm, sweet-spicy aroma enriched with soft vanilla, ginger, floral, and slightly woody undertones. Formed during the cooking or drying of ginger, Zingerone is highly valued in both flavors and fragrances for its smooth, gourmand-like warmth. Certified Halal, Kosher, and FSSC 22000.
