Description
Flavorant or essence is defined as a substance that gives another substance flavor, altering the characteristics of the solute, causing it to become sweet, sour, tangy, etc. Of the three chemical senses, the smell is the main determinant of a food item's flavor.
When cooking, it is worth the effort of seeking out flavor extract in good delicatessens, health food shops, and the larger branches of supermarkets. Whichever you decided to use, for the best results, always add cautiously.
