Abstract

Flavor is expressed through the interaction of molecules via gustatory and olfactory mechanisms. Knowing the pivotal role of flavor molecules in food and fragrances, the existence of a comprehensive repository becomes valuable. Such a repository encompasses the information of flavor molecules characterizing their flavor profile, chemical properties, regulatory status, consumption statistics, taste/aroma threshold values, reported uses in food categories, and synthesis. FlavorDB2 (https://cosylab.iiitd.edu.in/flavordb2/) is an updated database of flavor molecules with a user-friendly interface consisting of 25,595 flavor molecules. Among these, 2254 flavor molecules are associated with 936 natural ingredients from 34 categories. This repository simplifies the search for flavor molecules and their associated attributes. This platform offers multifaceted applications, including food pairing. FlavorDB2 serves as a standard repository of flavor compounds for researchers, chefs, and fragrance industry.
