Question shown in photo Vanillin (Figure 5, C8H8O3) is an organic compound extracted from the vanilla bean and is used to add flavor to drinks, food, and pharmaceuticals. While natural vanilla extract is composed of many different compounds, artificial vanillin is usually synthesized as a pure compound. As of 2001 only about 15% of the annual demand for vanillin was isolated as a natural product.
