• Taste components must be at least partially soluble in water, and capable of stimulating humans’ taste buds.
• Combination of senses required for full savory experience.

Chemical Compounds of Herbs
• “Essential Oils” – Often are complex mixtures of terpenes, and other terpenoid compounds.
- Some are volatile and vaporize quickly.- Others remain as liquid oils and are perceived through
both smell and taste senses.- These account for most ‘aromatic’ properties.
• Esters – “fruity” aromas, often associated with ripening.
• Amides - Nitrogen containing compounds, e.g. capsaicin.
• Vitamins - Typically vitamins A, B-complex, and C.
