Description
Vanillyl butyl ether (CAS 82654-98-6) is a synthetic ether derivative of vanillyl alcohol, commercially available under trade names including Sensehot, Hotact VBE, and referenced under FEMA 3796. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 2909.50.4050.
In food and beverage applications, it functions as a flavorant that activates TRPV1 receptors to produce a mild warming sensation without heat or pungency, making it a functional alternative to capsaicin. In personal care formulations, it acts as both a fragrance component and antioxidant, stabilizing emulsions against oxidative degradation while contributing a warm, vanilla-adjacent scent profile.
Vanillyl butyl ether is supplied as a neat oil and is available in food-grade quality meeting FEMA standards. It is registered under REACH (EC 444-010-7) and is relevant to cosmetic formulations governed by EU Regulation 1223/2009. Packaging formats vary by supplier, typically ranging from kilogram quantities to drum volumes for industrial procurement.
