How do companies create flavours like fruits,coffee etc without using actual fruit or coffee?

Flavor of a specific food, let’s say vanilla, come from a set of chemicals that can either stimulate your sense of smell or taste. If you can figure out which particular chemical or chemicals do that, you might be able to make it in a lab. For instance, the big ingredient in vanilla is called vanillin. For cinnamon, it’s called cinnamaldehyde. Both of these are easy to make–you could do it at home if you had the right equipment and watched a Youtube tutorial. So, instead of spending a lot of money on extracting it from some very expensive vanilla, you can just make some vanillin in a lab and toss it in your mass-produced cake mix.
