Please help me!! Research what a “flavorant” is. Explain what it means to be “nature identical.” Research the International Organization of the Flavor Industry. Explain what the purpose of the organization is and how it relates to the food industry.

A "flavorant" is defined as a substance that gives another substance flavor, altering the characteristics of the solute, causing it to become sweet, sour, tangy, etc. A flavor is a quality of something that affects the sense of taste. Of the three chemical senses, smell is the main determinant of a food item's flavor.

Explanation:

Due to the high cost or unavailability of natural flavor extracts, most commercial flavorants are "nature-identical", which means that they are the chemical equivalent of natural flavors, but chemically synthesized rather than being extracted from source materials.
