How Roquefort Cheese's 110 known compounds break down by aroma category. Percentages are of compounds with a known label.
41 of 110 are distinctive to roquefort cheese — they appear in under 10% of foods. The remainder are the background most foods share.
Ordered by measured impact in roquefort cheese — concentration against odour threshold where both are published, then by how distinctive the molecule is across the graph. Molecules measured here but not established as odorants sit below those that are.
Ranked by how often cooks actually use them together, across 453,403 recipes — the familiar answer first. Each pairing still carries its molecular score and shared-compound count; only the ORDER differs. Counts cover every characterised molecule the two ingredients have in common, not only the aroma-active ones, so they can exceed an ingredient’s aroma-compound count.
