Odor an taste

  1. While salt and sugar can technically be considered flavorants that enhance salty and sweet tastes, usually only compounds that enhance umami, as well as other secondary flavors are considered and referred to as taste flavorants. Artificial sweeteners are also technically flavorants.
  2. Ester produces artificial flavor.

Allyl hexanoatePineapple
Ethyl maltolSugar, Cotton candy
EthylvanillinVanilla
Methyl salicylateWintergreen

3. Many esters have distinctive fruit-like odors, and many occur naturally in the essential oils of plants. This has also led to their commonplace use in artificial flavorings and fragrances when those odors aim to be mimicked.
