Although the terms "flavoring" or "flavorant" in common language denote the combined [[chemical]] sensations of taste and smell, the same terms are usually used in the [[fragrance]] and flavors industry to refer to edible chemicals and extracts that alter the flavor of [[food]] and food products through the sense of smell. Due to the high cost or unavailability of [[natural]] flavor extracts, most commercial flavorants are nature-[[identical]], which means that they are the chemical equivalent of natural flavors but chemically [[synthesized]] rather than being extracted from the [[source]] materials. Identification of nature-identical flavorants are done using [[technology]] such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headspace_technology headspace techniques].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavor]
