What the hell are artificial flavors?

What the hell are artificial flavors?

Chemical compounds made not by nature

Usually aromatic organic chemicals made using chemistry instead of natural flavors which are those same organic chemicals attempted to be filtered out of plants and meats usually using enzymatic breakdown, filtering and electrolysis. Despite the bad reputation of artificial flavors, natural flavors aren't healthier, the process of extracting natural flavoring often includes other unintended compounds, like how natural banana flavoring can't remove a bound cyanide compound from the aromatic molecules responsible for the flavor.

Its simple. Its a man-made chemical compound that triggers a response in your taste buds that is the same or similar to the response caused by actually eating the flavor.
As in, artificial orange flavor triggers a similar response to actually tasting an orange.

Some artificial flavors are so good you cant taste the difference, some are so bad its pretty obvious.

>flavor triggers a similar response
No, it's literally the same molecule that's in the orange and behaves the same. There's no 'similar response', the tongue and nose are detecting an aromatic molecule same as they do whenever you smell or taste something from any food.

Jesus Christ what a brainlet

Isolated molecules that are responsible for flavors.

what do you think a flavor is you fucking retard? it's just a chemical. artificial flavors are just the isolated chemicals put together to make something taste a certain way.

chemical crap that irritates our taste buds in same way natural flavors do. And here is the thing they only need to irritate in same way they do not need to be same substance. So eating artificial flavors is like eating paint or plastic.

There's a reason no company has invented fruit-flavored plastic.

Fucking retard.

what are flavours?

this is a christian messaging board there will be none of that devil talk here

What the hell are natural flavors? Why don't they just say what ingredients they used?

Because the formulas for artificial flavoring are patented.

>formulas for artificial flavoring are patented
...thus making them public record

Chemicals aren't a part of nature?

if your factory get caught using it without paying for them you get sued

Artificial chemicals are made by man using natural or other artificial resources, they are not commonly found in nature. anyways this doesn't mean one is better better than another, it depends on what you are looking for.

Then why does artificial grape taste nothing like grape?

because there is a limit on how much you can imitate the flavor

He said "chemical compounds" and no, those chemical compounds are not made by anything else other than man. When "nature" is used in general conversations, it means "anything not related directly to humans." What spectrum are you to not know something so general?
