UNDERSTANDING FLAVOURS
Flavour = Aroma + Basic taste
Basic tastes:- sweet, sour, salt, bitter, umami and fat With sweet flavours we mainly supply the aroma
supplied
Thresholds (minimum you can taste) Impact chemicals (distinctive aromas) Solubility, Vapour Pressure, Partition coefficient
Evaluating Flavours
