Isoamyl acetate = banana 🍌
Ethyl butyrate = pineapple 🍍
Put them together, and you’ve got the skeleton of a tropical profile.
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.
👉 Which molecule should we decode next?
