Esterification is a chemical reaction in which an alcohol and a carboxylic acid combine to form an ester and a molecule of water. The process involves the removal of a hydroxyl group (-OH) from the alcohol and a hydrogen ion (H+) from the carboxylic acid, resulting in the formation of a new bond between the carbon atoms of the alcohol and carboxylic acid. The reaction is catalyzed by an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.

In the field of flavours and fragrances, esterification is an important process for the synthesis of esters, which are responsible for the characteristic aroma and taste of many natural and synthetic compounds. For example, the fruity and floral notes of many essential oils, such as orange and lavender, are due to the presence of esters. Similarly, many artificial flavors and fragrances are synthesized through esterification reactions.
