 Artificial liquid or solid smoke flavorings also contain the chemical, on average composing 13.73% and 13.42% of those products by mass respectively.Pyrolysis oil, a biofuel derived from woody biomass, can be optimized to yield syringol as a byproduct, potentially replacing demand for petroleum derived phenols.For instance, studies indicate that syringol can serve as a substitute feedstock for phenol formaldehyde resin, a commonly used, water resistant adhesive for plywood.
