Can you swap one for the other?

What they have in common
More than half of milk powder's flavor molecules (19 of 33) also occur in orange. Among the shared key aromas are nonanal (fat, citrus) and 2-methylbutyraldehyde (malty, chocolate). 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.
