Agreed. And the whole “derived from petroleum” == “tastes like gasoline” thing is so dumb. Pretty much every chemical we make comes from petroleum feedstock. Most of them don’t taste much like gasoline.
- s0rce 4y agoI don't think the sulfur containing 2,4-dithiapentane that is used in simulated "truffle" even smells like gasoline regardless of its similar origin, gasoline smells like other alkanes in the lab (hexanes, etc), not really sure how to describe it but not like sulfur containing compounds. I still don't like the truffle flavoring compound in my food, its overpowering to me, but if you like it go for it! Synthetic vanillin is delicious.
