How do they create artificial flavors to taste like real foods?
In: 3
“real foods” taste/smell like they do because they contain certain chemicals your tongue/nose has sensors for. Artificial flavors are just those same chemicals (or ones that have structures that also trigger those sensors), made using a different method than just extracting them from the food they want to mimic.
