Vanilla By Static Systems

VanillaVanilla, a member of the
orchid family is a climbing monocot possessing a stout, succulent stem;
short petioled, oblong leaves; about 20 cm long. Vanilla is used mainly
as a flavoring material; a critical intermediary in a host of
pharmaceutical products and as a subtle component of perfumes. Pure
vanilla gives us one of the most complex tastes in the world, having
well over 250 organic components creating its unique flavor and aroma.
There are several types of vanilla powders commercially available. Some
are made from sucrose that has been ribbon-sprayed with vanilla
extract, and some are a dextrose-vanilla extract mix. As a flavoring
agent, it is used in the preparation of ice creams, milk, beverages,
candies, confectionaries and various bakery items.
