Flavor is the sensory impression of food or other substance, which is often added to alter or create flavor for food products, such as candies, soft drinks, cakes, biscuits and other snacks. Another class of food additives, fragrances (usually in the form of fragrance oil), are blended natural or synthetic aroma compounds or natural essential oils that are diluted with a carrier like propylene glycol, vegetable oil, or mineral oil, used in perfumery, cosmetics, flavoring of food. Due to the high cost and unavailability of natural flavor extracts, currently most commercial flavorants are nature-identical, which means that they are the chemical equivalent of natural flavors but chemically synthesized rather than being extracted from source materials.
