Flavor Elements in Some Common
FruitsThe sugar and acid contents of fruits vary,
and depend largely on ripeness. The figures
below generally represent commercial
reality rather than the ideal, and are meant
to provide a rough way to compare the
qualities of different fruits. Generally, the
sweeter a fruit is, the tastier it is; but even
a sweet fruit will seem one-dimensional
without some counterbalancing acidity.
The aroma notes listed represent volatile
chemicals that flavor chemists have found
in the fruit but that don’t smell simply like
the fruit; they have qualities of their own
that contribute to the overall flavor. Blank
entries indicate a lack of information, not a
lack of interesting aroma!
