Best Answer
Most of the odourants in sausage stem from amino acids, lipids, and spices and are generated by fermentation, lipid oxidation or Maillard-type reactions.
So, theoretically, this could be done by first identifying the odour-active compounds that are in the type of sausage you want to replicate the smell of, then adding the amino acids and spices, then fermenting/oxidizing (aging) and cooking.

Does tallow have a smell?
Once it has been rendered, strained and dried tallow has mild animal-ish scent but not a bad smell at all. But once we mix the tallow with the essential oils the scents are perfectly integrated and harmonized, you'll never smell the raw tallow smell (though some noses are more sensitive than others).How do you get the smell out of tallow?
Melt your fat back down and pour through several layers of cheesecloth again into your jar. This process with the baking soda will remove some of the stinkiness. It will NOT remove all odor. Any soaps or beauty products made with your home rendered tallow are going to have a slight smell.Is tallow and lard the same thing?
