Jaccard
Thin evidence for this pair. We hold no distinguishing chemistry for pineapple sage: every compound on it appears in more than 10% of ingredients, so this score is computed over the background every food shares. Distinguishing compounds held — Pineapple Sage: 0, Devilfish: 0. The graph median is 12.

“Reported” counts reflect the compounds characterized for each ingredient across the studies and databases we aggregate — a measure of coverage, not an exhaustive census. Different analyses target different compound classes and methods, so read these as what has been characterized, not the total number of molecules present. Jaccard measures shared coverage, so it rewards overlap rather than highlighting the ratio differences that distinguish two ingredients.

Why they pair: shared-compound network

12 of 173 shared shown

Each molecule in the middle is shared by both ingredients — the chemistry bridging Pineapple Sage and Devilfish. Node color is chemical class and node size is perceptual potency (bigger = lower odor threshold, so it drives aroma at smaller amounts); a copper ring marks compounds flagged as key aromas in published GC-O studies. Zoom with the +/− buttons or a pinch, drag the background to pan, drag a node to pin it, click any molecule for its full profile.

Where they differ: aroma character

Profile distance 0.07

The Jaccard above measures overlap; this compares each ingredient’s aroma-family mix side by side — the wider the gap between the two bars, the more that family sets the ingredients apart. Pineapple Sage reads left, Devilfish reads right.

Shared compounds

173 of 199 total

These are the molecules both ingredients have in common — the chemistry behind why they pair. Grouped by chemical class; marks compounds flagged as key aromas in published GC-O studies.

Most perceptually potent shared compounds

115 of 173 shared are aroma compounds with a measured threshold

Odor threshold is the concentration at which a molecule becomes smellable — lower = more potent. These clear their threshold most easily, so they drive the shared aroma out of proportion to the raw shared count.
