Most preservatives I know of would overpower any kind of floral flavor
Turkish delights, as I know them, are basically little sugar bombs, so they shouldn't need any other preservatives to have a very long shelf life.
I've never had any awful tasting ones, so I can only guess how they might be screwed up. My guess would be that some overly greedy multinational(s) is (are) using corn syrup instead of sucrose.
Sugar is a pretty good preservative
Which, amusingly, is why Turkish Delight sucks when it's americanized into being Oops! All Sugar :)
I have never seen that here. The disgusting version I see is more like thick chewy fruit leather.
