Jaccard
Thin evidence for this pair. We hold no distinguishing chemistry for cuttlefish: 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 — Cuttlefish: 0, Geranium: 34. 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.

Where they differ: aroma character

Profile distance 0.77

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. Cuttlefish reads left, Geranium reads right.
