Why do artificial flavors like Apple, Cherry, Banana, etc taste exactly like real Apples, Cherries, Bananas, etc but Grape flavored anything just tastes like the color Purple instead of real Grapes.
In: Other
The products we use to mimic the flavors of nature are not necessarily from the plants themselves; even if we have done a good job creating a good product for ‘apple flavor’ it doesn’t really mean anything in terms of development of a good grape flavor product eg. You can think of what we know as that artificial grape flavor as simply the best (business decision) known way to mimic grape flavor. You’re welcome to try to make a better one, I’m sure there are people out there right now in fact whose job it is to address this very issue!
