Ingredient of food, or ant spray: substances having a very strong smell (8)

I believe the answer is:

odorants

'substances having a very strong smell' is the definition.
(odorants have an odour or smell)

'ingredient of food or ant spray' is the wordplay.
'ingredient of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ODORANTS' is hidden within 'food or ant spray'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
