Sour cream + Sour cream, reduced fat
Sour cream (American English) or soured cream (British English) is a dairy product obtained by fermenting regular cream with certain kinds of lactic acid bacteria.The bacterial culture, which is introduced either deliberately or naturally, sours and thickens the cream. Its name comes from the production of lactic acid by bacterial fermentation, which is called souring.
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Sour cream and Sour cream, reduced fat, giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.
Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Sour cream and Sour cream, reduced fat overlap on 18 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
