Vanillin is an organic compound in the vanilla bean responsible for its pleasant fragrance and unique taste. It contains three functional groups - aldehyde, hydroxyl and methoxyl - attached to a benzene ring. Although it can be synthesized from guaiacol and extracted from paper manufacturing waste, it is usually used as a flavoring agent in the food industry. Although synthetic Vanillin has a stronger flavor than natural vanilla, it is often used as a substitute due to its lower cost and longer shelf life. It is available in the form of white to yellow crystals and can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to two years. Vanillin is available in 25 kg bags. Vanillin has many uses in various industries, but it is mainly used as a flavoring agent in the food industry, especially in confectionery. It is also used in cosmetics and perfumes, tobacco products, air fresheners and as a chemical reagent.

Hydrochloric Acid is a corrosive, strong mineral acid with many industrial uses. A colorless, highly pungent solution of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in water, when it reacts with an organic base it forms a hydrochloride salt. With major production starting in the Industrial Revolution, hydrochloric acid is used in the chemical industry as a chemical reagent in the large-scale production of vinyl chloride for PVC plastic, and MDI/TDI for polyurethane. It has numerous smaller-scale applications, including household cleaning, production of gelatin and other food additives, descaling, and leather processing. About 20 million tonnes of hydrochloric acid are produced worldwide annually. It is also found naturally in gastric acid.
