Q. Show the characteristic baked flavour bread?

Bread has its own characteristic baked flavour. This flavour diminishes with shelf life. A freshly baked bread would have intense baked flavour than the bread which is even one day old. With age, the flavour of bread changes from the baked flavour to sourish flavour, which is indicative of spoilage or ripening. Even a fresh slice of bread with over fermentation can have ripened flavour. Thus, the flavour can be assessed on the scale of pleasant baked aroma to sourish aroma.
