How are artificial flavors made? Grape flavoring for example…It’s delicious. But what is it?
In: Chemistry
They can take the real food or whatever the flavor comes from and run it through a machine (mass spectrometer) that can tell them exactly what chemicals in the exact quantity’s the material has. Once they know the formula they can find other sources of those chemicals and combine them in the same formula.
It’s similar to a recipe used to cook food. It’s all about the materials used in the right portions.
