Flavor, Quality & StorageWhy can a mango's aroma seem different while chewing than while sniffing the cut fruit?
Sniffing brings odorants through the nostrils, while chewing also releases compounds that reach the nose from the mouth through the retronasal route. Release conditions and the food matrix affect that experience. Record how a sample was assessed rather than assuming the first sniff describes its entire flavor. This distinction helps separate aroma observations from sweetness, acidity, and texture during a mango tasting.
