The essence that makes jelly produce an attractive fragrance is mostly prepared by dissolving some compounds such as lipids and aldehydes in alcohol, and the bright color of jelly is the result of adding coal tar as raw material to synthesize pigments by chemical reaction. Jelly with flavors and pigments has no nutritional value and has certain toxicity.
