Pleasure-Evoking

Distantly related plants, such as rose, jasmin, and lavender have quite independently gone down this road of complexity, based on different groups of chemical constituents. We may conclude, therefore, that complexity of odor has evolved as being the most effective way of evoking a desired response from an animal with the ability to smell and the ability to memorize odor. What is remarkable is that the particular combinations of materials that individual flowers produce to make up their fragrance have, to our own sense of smell, an identity far greater than a random mixture of as many ill-assorted chemicals. Perhaps we may infer from this, in view of the similarity of our receptor cells, that the balance of materials is as important to the olfactory mechanism of the bee as it is to our own in producing a sense of identity and aesthetic pleasure.

Flavor is the complex effect of three components taste, odor, and feeling factors. It is usually associated with the pleasure of savoring food or beverages and has, subsequently, suffered from considerable imprecision in definition. Flavor is a sensation with multidimensional components involving subjective and objective perceptions. The sensory perceptions are both qualitative as well as quantitative and, therefore, can be measured. Webster s New Collegiate Dictionary defines flavor as the ... quality of something that affects the sense of taste,. .. the blend of taste and smell sensations evoked by a substance in the mouth. This definition is correct, but incomplete, and should be redefined to include feeling factors.
