Every compound-food link in CompKitchen comes from a peer-reviewed source. Search 38,144 flavor-relevant papers — part of a 44,648-paper indexed corpus — on aroma compounds, odor thresholds, GC-MS analyses, and sensory studies that power the pairing engine.
Without supervision or human-coded labels, a UMAP projection of 7,464 volatile compounds across 450 ingredients reproduces conventional food categories — and surfaces cross-category molecular bridges that traditional culinary intuition misses.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from foods and plants are typically analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or electronic-nose (E-nose) analysis. GC/MS i... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The search for mates and food is mediated by volatile chemicals. Insects sense food odorants and sex pheromones through odorant receptors (ORs) and pheromone receptors (PRs), which... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Bio-based production has increasingly gained attention as an alternative technology to complement or even substitute petroleum-based production of valuable chemicals. This technolo... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Interactions relating to human chemical signalling, although widely acknowledged, are relatively poorly characterized chemically, except for human axillary odour. However, the exte... Read full abstract on PubMed →
An antioxidant formula based on peanut skins and hulls, was developed and characterized for total and single polyphenols, and antioxidant power, considering the contribution provid... Read full abstract on PubMed →
During submerged cultivation, the edible basidiomycete Fomitopsis betulina (previously Piptoporus betulinus) developed a fruity odor, strongly reminding of pineapple. Olfactometric... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The types and amounts of volatiles in the fruits of 39 melon cultivars were determined. We identified 146 volatiles, including 55 esters, 23 aldehydes, 30 alcohols, 15 ketones, 6 a... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Microbial strains for starter culture-initiated sourdough productions are commonly isolated from a fermenting flour-water mixture. Yet, starter culture strains isolated from matric... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The aromatic metabolites derived from yeast metabolism determine the characteristics of aroma and taste in wines, so they are considered of great industrial interest. Volatile este... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Objective: The key objective of this research is to investigate the aroma profle of Kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix) leaves grown under greenhouse and peatlite soilless substrate condi... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Plants typically release large quantities of volatiles in response to herbivory by insects. This benefits the plants by, for instance, attracting the natural enemies of the herbivo... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The composition of defensive secretion produced by metathoracic scent glands was analysed in males and females of the milkweed bug Lygaeus equestris (Heteroptera) using gas chromat... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Chinese jasmine tea is a type of flower-scented tea, which is produced by mixing green tea with the <i>Jasminum</i> <i>sambac</i> flower repeatedly. Both the total amount and compo... Read full abstract on PubMed →
This study investigated the evolution of both free and bound volatile compounds in 'Shine Muscat' grape from post-fruit set to post-maturity and limiting factors of the lipoxygenas... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The estimation of ripeness is a significant section of quality determination since maturity at harvest can affect sensory and storage properties of fruits. A possible tactic for de... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Aging is characterized by dynamic changes at metabolic level that lead to modifications in the composition of the metabolome. Since the identification of biomarkers that can discri... Read full abstract on PubMed →
"Aglione della Valdichiana" is listed among the Traditional Agronomic and Edible Products of Italy, as it is a typical product of the Chiana Valley (Tuscany, Italy). It is also kno... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Since the 1980s the energy demand has been increasing steadily, including diesel fuel. On the other hand the oil reserve in the world was increasingly limited because of being the... Read full abstract on PubMed →
A rapid method for analyzing of Jinhua ham samples in different aging time was created based on gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). The GC-IMS chromatograph prov... Read full abstract on PubMed →
