With all engineered foods such as Doritos, there are a lot of chemicals in the ingredients lists that are artificial. How do food scientists know which chemicals are edible and how they taste?

Just because the chemicals are manufactured doesnt mean the chemicals dont exist in nature.
Most artifical flavouring is just the molecule that gives the food its taste but made in a lab. If it wasnt edible (in reasonable quantitites) the food also wouldnt be edible.
