Can flavorists today conjure up sophisticated banana flavoring additives to make a more nuanced banana flavor in processed foods? And the fruit within stayed fresh and more flavorful for longer periods, shipped across seas to reach ports hungry for the tropical fruit. Banana flavour pairs well with strawberry, vanilla, clove, pineapple, coffee, guava, chocolate, caramel, honey, spices, dairy, savoury, oats, smoothies. Well, clearly we didn’t learn our monocultural lesson, as the Cavendish banana is also a monoculture.

Over the course of time, it has developed a mellow, creamy, and complex vanilla flavor with added nuance, depth, and earthy base notes imparted from the oak cask. There were a number of red and yellow banana varieties in the United States at the time, but Big Mike, as the Gros Michel was affectionately termed, eventually bested them all and became top banana.

So, when you’re biting into a piece of banana Laffy Taffy, you’re getting a taste of the bananas of the past.It was the Gros Michel’s flavor that was supposedly in mind when chemists developed artificial banana flavoring, which may explain why artificial banana flavor doesn’t taste much like the yellow bananas we eat today.

In Britain, she says, “there was already this tradition of making candies that referred to the pear in some way … so that’s how it kind of made sense to place it. The chemistry of artificial banana flavor as show above will show you the exact way and why the taste is. Our Banana Flavoring is a popular choice for when you want to add a little something extra to your creations.However, capturing the flavour of something like a whole, fresh and ripe strawberry in one compound is impossible.
