Food Flavours

Flavors are the sensory impressions you experience when consuming foods and beverages. These impressions are formed by the chemical sensations of taste and smell. Along with other sensations, like texture, you get the full experience of a food product.The primary function of flavors is to add taste to foods, as they have no nutritional properties. Flavors come in both natural and artificial varieties. Artificial flavors are carefully selected to provide a larger and more diverse variety of flavors.
