Question

What is the compound used as pistachio flavor in icecream

Answer 1

Pistachio ice cream or pistachio nut ice cream is an ice cream flavour made with pistachio nuts or flavouring. It is often distinctively green in color. Pistachio is also a flavor of sorbet and gelato.

Answer 2

Pistachio nuts are very costly, that's why icecream companies often use artificial flavour and fragrance to replicate the natural taste and smell of the pistachio nuts.

For the taste companies mostly use concentrated pistachio essence which is made out of different alcohols or other chemical substances with a little amount of natural pistachio nuts.

And for the fragrance acetophenone is the most common aromatic chemical substance which is used in these types of icecream.
