Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Sesame oil and Milk, giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.

Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Sesame oil and Milk overlap on 20 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
