Aromas

Flavors are products that are added to foods to impart odor or taste, or to strengthen or change the odor or taste of foods.

There are close to 400 artificial and 1800 nature-identical varieties and it is one of the frequently used additives in foods. Chemists refer to a flavoring component as an isolated flavor molecule. Aromas are also used in the food and pharmaceutical industries to mask undesirable taste and odor in the final product.

Aromas are made up of various groups of chemical molecules; such as terpenes, lactones, pyrazines, ethers and others... Terpenes are responsible for the characteristic odor of essential oils. Lactones are known for giving off a fruity odor, like decalactone, which smells like peach. Pyrazines are flavor components of heated foods. Esters, on the other hand, have a fruity property such as ethyl valerate, which gives apples its characteristic aroma.
