So, what is artificial banana flavor?

Artificial banana flavor is a synthetic flavoring agent designed to mimic the taste of natural banana. It is commonly used in processed foods, candies, and beverages. The flavor is typically derived from a combination of chemicals, such as isoamyl acetate, amyl acetate, and other compounds that simulate the aroma and taste of real bananas. Artificial banana flavor offers a consistent and cost-effective way to add a fruity, sweet taste to foods and drinks, and it has become a popular choice among food manufacturers. However, its flavor profile may not match everyone's preferences, and some people may find it too strong or chemical-like.
