Tastes and odors that are naturally found in fruits or are used in candies, flavorings, and perfumes are often the result of

Esters

Explanation:

An ester is chemical compound which is derived from an organic or inorganic acid in which atleast one of the hydroxyl group in the structure is replaced by an alkoxy group.

Many esters have very distinctive fruit-like odors. Also many of them occur naturally in essential oils of the plants. This property of the esters has also led to common use in the artificial flavorings and the fragrances which aim to mimic these odors.
