A substance's physical and chemical properties are all determined by its chemical structure. Its chemical structure depends on the number and types of atoms in each of its molecules, as well as on how those atoms are arranged.
One property of a substance is its flavor, which is its odor and taste combined. The chemical structure of a substance determines both the kind of flavor it has and the strength of that flavor.
Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.
The models below show the chemical structures of three other guaiacol derivatives. Select the two derivatives that are most likely to have a clove flavor like eugenol.
Another common derivative of guaiacol is eugenol (YOO-jeh-nol). Like vanillin, eugenol has a chemical structure that is only slightly different from the chemical structure of guaiacol. However, this difference causes eugenol to have an intense, bitter flavor known as clove.
The models below show the chemical structures of guaiacol and eugenol.
Which statements correctly compare eugenol and guaiacol? Select all that apply.
Although the chemical structures of guaiacol and its derivatives are similar, they are not exactly the same. The small differences in the derivatives' chemical structures can have big effects on their flavors. Because of this, guaiacol derivatives often smell and taste much different than guaiacol itself.
For example, one common guaiacol derivative is vanillin. The chemical structure of vanillin is only slightly different from the chemical structure of guaiacol. However, this difference causes vanillin to have a vanilla flavor instead of a smoky flavor.
The models below show the chemical structures of guaiacol and vanillin.
Which model has an outline around the part of vanillin's chemical structure that is not part of guaiacol's chemical structure?
One example of a flavorant is guaiacol (GWIGH-uh-kol), which has a smoky flavor. Guaiacol can be added to food to make it smell and taste smoky. You may have encountered guaiacol naturally if you have smelled wood burning or tasted food cooked over a campfire.
