The Flavor [Code]: Esters by Aromatech

Every flavor has a code.

A set of molecules that, once you learn them, uncovers how taste and aroma really work.

Take esters. They’re the reason fruit smells like fruit.

Isoamyl acetate = banana 🍌
Ethyl butyrate = pineapple 🍍

The Flavor Code is our new series: short lessons on the science behind flavor.

The more you know the building blocks, the more control you have over stability, sensory impact, and cost-in-use.
