The chemistry of spices and essences encompasses the chemical composition of spices, flavor and aroma, and preservation and quality. The rich chemical constituents of various spices, such as volatile oils, phenolic compounds, and terpenes, contribute unique flavors and aromas to food. The sources of flavor and aroma are diverse, including the flavor compounds inherent in raw materials, chemical reactions during processing, and microbial fermentation. To maintain the quality of spices and essences, appropriate preservation methods, such as low-temperature storage and light protection, are required to ensure their stability and durability in food.
