/ MOLECULAR PAIRING
Cider + Chestnut, raw
Affinity score 93%Shared compounds 5Source: modal-canonical-v3
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Cider and Chestnut, raw, giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.
procyanidin dimer b7procyanidin dimer b5procyanidin trimer eec(-)-epicatechin 3-o-gallate(+)-gallocatechin
Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Cider and Chestnut, raw overlap on 5 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
