Glucovanillin, also known as vanilloside, is a chemical compound found in vanilla beans. Chemically, it is a glucoside composed of glucose and vanillin. Glucovanillin is particularly prevalent in green vanilla beans^[2] and upon ripening it is hydrolyzed by the action of the enzyme β-glucosidase which releases vanillin,^[3]^[4] the major contributor to the aroma and flavor of vanilla. Vanillin is further released from glucovanillin during the curing process of vanilla production.^[5]

Glucovanillin has weak antibacterial properties and has served as a lead compound for the development of more potent antibactierial compounds.^[6]
