Can you swap one for the other?

No. Gelatin and mandarin orange are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common

Almost everything gelatin carries, mandarin orange has too: 41 of gelatin's 48 flavor molecules also occur in mandarin orange. Among the shared key aromas are beta-pinene (pine, resin) and ethanol (alcoholic, ethereal). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell. Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
