According to research by British and Swedish scientists, the smell of vanilla is a favorite among most people in the world. Vanilla pompona found in the Peruvian Amazon has been tested using HPLC analysis showing a concentration of vanillin content up to 9.88g/100g making it suitable for the food or cosmetic industry.

vulnerable plant species in the anacardiaceae family
