Chemistry
Though there are many compounds present in the extracts of vanilla, the compound predominantlyprzeważnie, głownie responsible for the characteristic flavour and smell of vanilla is known as vanillin.

Vanilla essenceistota, esencja comes in two forms: the actual extract of the seedpods, and the far cheaper synthetic essenceistota, esencja, basically consisting of a solution of synthetic vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde).

Uses
Vanilla flavor in creams, cakes and other foodstuff may be achieved by adding some vanilla essenceistota, esencja or by cooking vanilla beans in the liquid preparation. A stronger aroma may be attainedto attain: osiągać, dochodzić do if the beans are split in two; in this case, the innardswnętrzności of the beans, consisting of flavorful tiny black grains, are mixed into the preparation.

Good quality vanilla has a strong aromatic flavor, but foodstuffs with small amounts of low quality vanilla or artificial vanilla-like flavorings are far more common, since true vanilla is much more expensive.

One major use of vanilla is in flavouring ice cream: the most common flavour of ice cream is vanilla, and thus most people consider it to be the "defaultdomyślny, domniemany" flavour.

By analogy, the term "plain vanilla" or just "vanilla" is used for defaultdomyślny, domniemany i.e. with no extras or modifications, in many situations, for example vanilla sex. Since "plain vanilla" ice creams often do not have a strong vanilla taste, the term "French vanilla" is often used to designateto designate: wyznaczać, przeznaczać, mianować preparations that actually have a strong vanilla aroma, and possibly contain vanilla grains.

History
Vanilla was a well regarded flavoring in Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, and was brought back to Europe (and from there the rest of the world) by the Spanish Conquistadors.

In ancient Mexico the Totonac people were regarded as the producers of the best vanilla. They continued to be the world's chief producers of the flavoring through the mid 19th century. At that time, French Vanilla growers in Mexico traded their knowledge of artificial pollinationzapylanie of flowers for the Totonac knowledge of preparing the beans.

Some connoisseursconnisseur: koneser, znawca still regard the Totonac vanilla as the best. Such is sometimes marketed in gourmetsmakosz food stores as "Mexican vanilla", although Mexico also produces low quality vanilla that sometimes shares this label.

Coca-Cola Corporation is the world's largest customer of natural vanilla extract. When New Coke was introduced in 1985, the economy of Madagascar crashedto crash: runąć, upaść, zbankrutować, and only recovered after New Coke floppedto flop: okazać się kompletną klapą, fiaskiem. The reason was that New Coke uses vanillin, a less-expensive synthetic substitute, and purchases of vanilla more than halved during this period. By 2002, the company introduced Vanilla Coke which is Coca-Cola with vanilla flavor.
