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.

The volatile components of Hyuganatsu (Citrus tamurana Hort. ex Tanaka) peel oil, isolated by cold-pressing, were investigated by chemical and sensory analyses. According to chemic... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The aromas of fruits, vegetables, and flowers are mixtures of volatile metabolites, often present in parts per billion levels or less. We show here that tomato (Lycopersicon escule... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The parasitic wasp Microplitis croceipes (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) showed its own characteristic electroantennogram (EAG) response profiles to 13 host-related (cis-3-hexe... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The main objectives of the research project were: 1. The manipulation, by genetic engineering techniques, of the terpenoid pathway in tomato fruit. Specifically, to test the hypoth... Read full abstract on PubMed →
A total of 15 green tea samples were prepared from fresh tea leaves obtained from three different countries: two from Laos, seven from Myanmar, and six from Vietnam. The volatile a... Read full abstract on PubMed →
We investigated whether volatiles produced by spider mite-damaged plants of four gerbera cultivars differ in attractiveness to Phytoseiulus persimilis, a specialist predator of spi... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Herbivore attack is known to increase the emission of volatiles, which attract predators to herbivore-damaged plants in the laboratory and agricultural systems. We quantified volat... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The application of headspace solid phase microextraction (SPME) for flavor analysis has been studied. Headspace SPME sampling was tested for nine common wine flavor compounds in 1... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Fresh elder flowers (Sambucus nigra L.) were extracted with an aqueous solution containing sucrose, peeled lemon slices, tartaric acid, and sodium benzoate to make elder flower syr... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The composition of the essential oils of four populations of Thymus lotocephalus G. López and R. Morales and one population of T.xmourae Paiva and Salgueiro, two endemic taxa from... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Volatiles were isolated from whole green mature walnuts (Hartley variety) with husks still intact using dynamic headspace sweeping with trapping on Tenax. A total of 45 volatile co... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Commonly used dynamic sorption techniques for collecting biologically active volatile compounds have been compared. Solid phase microextraction (SPME) using two types of fibers (po... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The essential oil of oak moss concrete was extracted by volatile oil content equipment. The chemical compositions and their relative contents were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. A Supel... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Breeding sweetpotatoes (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) for improved flavor would be greatly facilitated by understanding the flavor chemistry of the crop. To ascertain the chemical com... Read full abstract on PubMed →
After herbivore attack, plants launch a suite of direct and indirect defense responses that must be coordinated if plants are to realize a fitness benefit from these responses. Her... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Application of aroma extract dilution analysis on the volatiles obtained from dried cones of Spalter Select hops grown in the German hop-growing area of Hallertau revealed 23 odora... Read full abstract on PubMed →
Volatile compounds emitted from flowers of Jasminum polyanthum Pepita in situ were collected by dynamic headspace technique and analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. A total of 32 compound... Read full abstract on PubMed →
The essential oils from cultivated Elsholtzia ciliata (Thunb.) Hyland. from two regions of Vietnam were analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. More than 30 components were identified,... Read full abstract on PubMed →
