Esters: Compounds with a fruity, sweet aroma and flavor. Examples include ethyl butyrate and isoamyl acetate.
Aldehydes: Compounds with a fresh, floral aroma and flavor. Examples include citral and benzaldehyde.
Terpenes: Compounds with a fresh, herbal aroma and flavor. Examples include limonene and γ-terpinene.
Alcohols: Compounds with a sweet, floral aroma and flavor. Examples include linalool and geraniol.
Ketones: Compounds with a sweet, floral aroma and flavor. Examples include menthone and ionone
