aromatizing
Infusing with smell
Aromatizing is adding fragrance or flavor to something.
Cooks aromatize dishes with herbs and spices: aromatizing the oil with garlic before adding vegetables.
In chemistry, aromatizing converts a compound into an aromatic one—a molecule with a ring structure like benzene.
The word works as both verb form and adjective: aromatizing agents, aromatizing enzymes.
