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.

BACKGROUND: Psidium guineense, known as Araçá, is a Brazilian botanical resource with commercial application perspectives, based on the functional elements of its fruits and due to... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Plants store volatile compounds in specialized organs. The properties of these storage organs prevent precarious evaporation and protect neighbouring tissues from cytotoxicity. Met... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Matricaria is a widespread genus of flowering plants of the family Asteraceae that grow in temperate regions of Europe, Asia, America and Africa. Some of the species are also natur... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Herba Siegesbeckiae (HS), derived from the aerial parts of three plants, <i>Siegesbeckia orientalis</i> (SO), <i>S. glabrescens</i> (SG), and <i>S. pubescens</i> (SP), has been use... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The use of a hydrophobic eutectic solvent based on dl-menthol and a naturally occurring acid such as acetic acid has been tested as an eco-friendly electrolyte medium in dye-sensit... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The volatile profiles of three blackcurrant ( Ribes nigrum L.) cultivars grown in Finland and their responses to growth latitude and weather conditions were studied over an 8 year... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Lignin, a major component of lignocellulose, is the largest source of aromatic building blocks on the planet and harbors great potential to serve as starting material for the produ... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Free and glycosidically bound volatiles from two major tomato cultivars (<i>Lycopersicon esculantum</i> L<i>. cv</i>. Alida and Merve) of Turkey were determined. Free volatile comp... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Vanillin is an aromatic aldehyde found as a component of lignocellulosic material, and in the cured pods of orchidaceae plants. Like other phenolic substances, vanillin has antimic... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Homology searches indicate that <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> strain BY4741 contains seven redundant genes that encode putative aryl-alcohol dehydrogenases (AAD). Yeast <i>AAD</i... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Vanillyl alcohol oxidase (VAO) and eugenol oxidase (EUGO) are flavin-dependent enzymes that catalyse the oxidation of <i>para</i>-substituted phenols. This makes them potentially i... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Antioxidant activity, lipid oxidation, fatty acid composition and volatile compounds of duck eggs supplemented with clove extract were monitored over the salting period. The result... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The green organs, especially the leaves, of many Compositae plants possess characteristic aromas. To exploit the utility value of these germplasm resources, the constituents, mainl... Read full abstract on PubMed →
We confirmed an aggregation-sex pheromone of the Korean Monochamus alternatus Hope (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) population, which primarily transmitted the pine wood nematode in Kore... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Biochemical, microbiological and sensory qualities of Puthi shidal from the markets of North-east India were studied. Puthi shidal was found as a good source of protein (38.35%). I... Read full abstract on PubMed →
