description Product Description
Guaiacol is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as an expectorant in cough syrups, helping to loosen and expel mucus from the respiratory tract. It also serves as a precursor in the synthesis of various drugs, including those for treating tuberculosis and other infections. In the food and flavoring industry, guaiacol is employed to impart a smoky or woody aroma to products like meats, beverages, and baked goods. Additionally, it is utilized in the production of vanillin, a key flavoring agent. In agriculture, guaiacol acts as a plant growth regulator, promoting root development and enhancing stress resistance in crops. Its antiseptic properties make it valuable in disinfectants and preservatives for industrial and medical applications.
