“…Compounds in liquid smoke such as phenol, 2-methoxy-(CAS) guaiacol, phenol, 2 methyl-(CAS), phenol 2,6-dimethoxy-(CAS), benzene, 1,2-dimethoxy-(CAS) veratol and phenol, 2-methyl-(CAS) o-cresol functions as a flavor and aroma enhancer in jerky so that it can improve the flavor of jerky. This followsHalid and Gobel, (2021) that the phenolic compounds that form the smoke flavor are guaiacol, 4-methyl guaiacol, and 2,6-dimethoxy phenol. Guaikol gives a smoked taste, while syringol gives a smoked aroma to food products.…”
