What is Tomato Flavor?

Tomato flavor refers to the characteristic taste and aroma profile of fresh, cooked, or processed tomatoes. It is a complex combination of sweet, sour, savory (umami), and slightly grassy or fruity notes. Key aroma compounds include hexenal (green, fresh), Z-3-hexenol (leafy), furaneol (caramel-like, fruity), and glutamic acid (umami).
