Undecanals 1, 10 - These are flower-like flavors used in many processed foods. The amounts used are limited by the FDA. Vanilla, Vanilla Extract - Vanilla comes from the pods of a wild orchid which is native to the rain forests of southern Mexico. The beans of these pods are ripened, then cured and fermented to bring out the flavor we all know as vanilla. The extract is a solution which contains about 35% alcohol and has a much stronger taste. It (the extract) may also contain sugar or corn syrup, glycerin and/or propylene glycol. GRAS. Vanillin - This product exists naturally in several places (wood pulp, potato parings, and vanilla extract), but it is considered a synthetic flavoring. Compared to equal amounts of vanilla, vanillin is much stronger and cheaper as well. This product, though mildly toxic is considered safe by the FDA due to the small amounts of it that are needed to produce a vanilla-like flavor. Waxy Cornstarch, Waxy Rice Flour - These are starches that are high in amylopectin. When heated they form clear, smooth, stable gels and are widely used in prepared puddings and sauces. GRAS.
