strength flavor chemical structure odor threshold flavorant arrangement
A substance that is used to change or enhance a food's flavor is called a ________. As with all substances, a flavorant's ________, or the number, types, and ________ of atoms in each molecule of the flavorant, determines its properties. One of these properties is ________, which is the combined odor and taste of the flavorant. Another property is ________, which is the smallest concentration of the flavorant that the human nose can detect. A flavorant's odor threshold is related to the ________ of its flavor at a given concentration.
How are substances represented by chemical formulas and models?

Answer

  1. A substance that is used to change or enhance a food's flavor is called a flavorant. As with all substances, a flavorant's chemical structure, or the number, types, and arrangement of atoms in each molecule of the flavorant, determines its properties. One of these properties is flavor, which is the combined odor and taste of the flavorant. Another property is odor threshold, which is the smallest concentration of the flavorant that the human nose can detect. A flavorant's odor threshold is related to the strength of its flavor at a given concentration.

  2. Chemical formulas use element symbols and subscripts to show the types and numbers or ratios of atoms in a substance. Models show how atoms are arranged and connected, often including their three-dimensional structure.
