For Flavor we have terms and definitions in 5 topics. The topics are Agroscience, Coffee, Physics High Energy, Technology and Wine Tasting.

Flavor (Agroscience)

A sensory description experienced in taste testing of a fat or oil. A bland or neutral flavor is generally desirable.

Flavor (Coffee)

Flavor is the most ambiguous term of all. Acidity has something to do with flavor, and so do body and aroma. Some coffees simply have a fuller, richer flavor than others, whereas other coffees have an acidy tang, for instance, that tends to dominate everything else. One can also speak of a distinctively flavored coffee, a coffee whose flavor characteristics stand out. Of the three coffees I suggest that you sample, the Yemen Mocha is probably the most distinctive, the Mexican the least distinctive, and the Sumatran the richest. The following are some terms and categories often used to evaluate flavor. Some are obvious, many overlap, but all are useful.

Flavor (Physics High Energy)

The name used for the different quark types (up, down, strange, charm, bottom, top) and for the different lepton types (electron, muon, tau). For each charged lepton flavor there is a corresponding neutrino flavor. In other words, flavor is the quantum number that distinguishes the different quark/lepton types. Each flavor of quark and charged lepton has a different mass. For neutrinos we do not yet know if they have a mass or what the masses are.

Flavor (Technology)

One of several varieties of a system, having its own details of operation. UNIX in particular is found in distinct flavors, such as BSD UNIX or AT&T UNIX System V.

Flavor (Wine Tasting)

How the wine tastes.
