Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content.

Ingredients

The syrup is viscous and sticky from the sugar content. The flavor is sweet and is used in many food products in America. It is also used in baked goods to improve the texture and add volume. Corn syrup is made to be added to food and not eaten as is.

molasses

Molasses is a thick syrup-based sweetener and can be made from sugarcane, sugar beets, pomegranate, sorghum, carob and dates. In the US, sugarcane and sugar beet varieties are most popular and is made by boiling down the juice of these plants into a thick, dark syrup. The flavor is rich and sweet. Light molasses is milder in flavor, while blackstrap molasses has a bitter edge. Pomegranate and sorghum molasses are made in the same way. Pomegranate is another popular variety and has a dark red color and a fruity tartness. Carob and date molasses need additional ingredients to extract the flavor and syrup. Molasses is often used in baked goods, but can pair well in sauces and certain savory dishes.

salt

Salt is a mineral composed mostly of sodium chloride. It is the main flavoring used in food and is naturally occurring in certain foods, such as cheese, beets, meat and celery, plus many others. Salt is white and has finer granules than sugar. Many commercial salts include iodide, while others exclude it. Most salts are white, while some are naturally pale pink with minerals. Salt brings out the flavor of something and can create a tangy mouthfeel, if used in excess.

additives

Additives are added to food items in small quantities to improve the flavor, change the texture, enhance appearance, or preserve the item. Additives are both natural and artificial. Natural additives have been used for a long time, while many artificial ones were discovered in the 19th century. There are numerous artificial additives including soy lecithin, guar gum, ascorbic acid and sodium nitrite.
