Natural flavors
Due to characteristically flavorful, many fruits and vegetable are delicious when eaten in their raw state and there is a little to compare with the fine flavor of fresh strawberries, a succulent pear, or a scrip of celery; but cook these and flavor character is entirely changed. For many persons this resultant flavor is less acceptance that of the fresh fruit.

Canned strawberries or pears have totally different flavor profile from that of the fresh fruits. If strawberries are cooked at a higher temperature to make strawberry jam the resultant profile is again further changed. It is knowledge of these different profiles which is so important in the creation of food products. Again, the fruits demonstrated a spectrum of flavor profile which depends upon their state of ripeness at the time of gathering.

Preference for one or the other is matter of individual choice but to the food processing company an appreciation of the different flavor qualities and strength which result on this score is essential when handling fruit as a flavoring component in a product.
