Deer vs Wine: shared flavor compounds
55 of 689 flavor compounds are shared (Jaccard 0.08) — the molecular basis for whether Deer and Wine pair well or work as substitutes. Full side-by-side breakdown below.
“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 55 shared shownEach molecule in the middle is shared by both ingredients — the chemistry bridging Deer and Wine. 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 0.52The 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. Deer reads left, Wine reads right.
Shares are fractions of each ingredient’s labeled compounds (179 of 180 for Deer, 515 of 564 for Wine) — compositional lean, not concentration. Aroma labels come from our compound enrichment and cover most, but not all, characterized molecules.
Pro names the molecules behind each difference — the specific compounds in each aroma family that one ingredient has and the other doesn’t. Sign in to see them.
