flavorchemistry

Flavor chemistry involves studying how different chemical compounds create the tastes and aromas we associate with food and beverages. It examines how molecules like sugars, acids, and aromatic compounds interact with our senses to produce specific flavors. By understanding these interactions, food scientists can enhance, modify, or recreate flavors, ensuring consistent quality and developing new products. This field combines chemistry, sensory science, and food technology to decode the complex profiles that make flavors appealing and recognizable.
