These flavors and spices are called flavoring agents or flavoring agents. Spices can be divided into natural flavors and artificial flavors according to different sources. Natural flavors also include animal and plant flavors. Plant flavors are mainly used in food production. Artificial fragrances are compounds obtained from raw materials such as petrochemical products and coal tar products through synthetic reactions. Essence is a compound perfume made by mixing several or dozens of perfumes with diluents. Strictly speaking, spices generally refer to raw materials used as flavor components and are rarely directly used in food. Flavor is an important raw material used directly to increase the flavor of food.

Water-soluble flavors are blended with distilled water, ethanol, propylene glycol or glycerin as diluents, which are easy to volatilize and are not suitable for aromatization of baked goods. Oil-soluble flavors are blended with refined vegetable oils, glycerin or propylene glycol as diluents, and their heat resistance is better than water-soluble flavors, so they are suitable for bakery products.
