What does Diet Soda Taste Like?

Sweet

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. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.

Ingredients

carbonated water

Carbonated water is water that has had carbon dioxide gas added to it under pressure and then dissolved. This creates the effervescent, or fizzy effect found in sodas. Carbonated water is flavorless, unless flavor is added. It is a refreshing beverage best served cold.

sweeteners

Sweeteners refer to any sweetener used to add sweet flavor to a food item. Sweeteners are often used in desserts, added to drinks and also used in savory dishes to balance out the tastes. Sweeteners may include natural sources, such as sugar, honey, stevia, and others. Artificial sweeteners can include saccharin, acesulfame, aspartame and others. Sweeteners may come from natural or lab made sources.

flavors

Flavors refer to any number of additives that gives food and drink items a specific or enhanced taste. These flavors may be from natural or artificial sources. Natural flavors come from oils, distillations, oleoresins, protein hydrolysates or extracts made from plants including: barks, fruits, vegetables and herbs, or from animal sources. These sources undergo a number of different methods in order for the flavor to be obtained and made into use for human consumption. Artificial flavors are made from lab-obtained sources, such as petroleum and various chemical compounds. They are made to mimic the exact taste of its replacement, for example: vanilla, lemon, or raspberry and often undergo strict testing before the artificial flavor is allowed to be used in a food source.
