may i have a random animal fact of indeterminate quality please
YES ABSOLUTELY
I see the wolf in your name and raise you a wolf fact! Did you know that wolves paws are slightly webbed? This allows them to walk over uneven or snowy terrain as well as aiding in swimming across large bodies of water.
In fact, there is a type of wolf that has an even closer relation with water- the Vancouver Island wolf lives a semi-aquatic life and largely subsists off a diet of marine life such as clams, barnacles, mussels and crabs... but more interestingly: salmon! They have been found to only eat the head and brains of the salmon- something that is predicted to be a way of avoiding parasites that would be harmful to canines!
I dreamt of a character that would be obsessed with keys and who could open doors wherever he was as long as there was a wall... Thought I might draw him!
Oooo what did you learn about artificial banana flavouring?
So. My friend told me a weird fact about artificial banana flavouring: "banana flavouring is actually based on an old species of banana that went extinct"
I heard this and was like. "HUH?? What?? This sounds like some tiktok BS" and went off to do research because that... just doesn't sound true?
And what I ultimately found was: the true source of artificial banana flavouring is (probably) indeterminate due to the fact that it's not a heavily documented/researched topic (most articles you can find about it online simply regurgitate the same info from each other) BUT there are a few points to note:
1. The banana in question (Gros Michels bananas) is not extinct. It is no longer sold commercially due to a fungal disease, which impacted the growth and sale of Gros Michels (Commercial bananas are all technically genetic clones, since they no longer have seeds, and are thus very susceptible to disease).
2. While the chemical that is used to create the artificial banana flavouring (isoamyl acetate) IS found in bananas, it is unlikely that it originated from the Gros Michels banana, as the chemical was originally used in British pear flavoured candies long before it's appearance in the market as "banana" (apparently, isoamyl acetate tastes of pear when diluted). When these candies were brought over to the USA, many people didn't recognise the taste to be pear, as the species popular in Britain was different from the popular pear species in America at the time.
3. Gros Michels bananas DO taste like artificial banana flavouring moreso than our current commercial bananas (Cavendish bananas) due to having a higher amount of isoamyl acetate. There is little to no evidence of it originating from Gros Michels, and in fact, banana flavouring predated the arrival of bananas to the commercial market in America, so the connection is likely one made in hindsight.
TL,DR; No, the banana flavouring is not based on the Gros Michels banana, but it IS strongly reminiscent of the fruit.
