Abstract

The alcoholic beverage tequila has gained popularity all around the world, due to its disctinctive flavor and aorma. Such characteristics are the result of a process that has been developed over almost five hudred years. Not much is known on the formation of flavor during the different processing steps performed to obtain tequila in its different types, and much more research is needed in order to better understand, improve and control the flavor of tequila. This chapter discusses the knowledge to date on the volatile flavor compounds that are originated during tequila production.
