mint food product + Spearmint
flavour used mainly in chewing gums and tooth paste that is either naturally or artificially created to taste like oil of spearmint (herb)
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both mint food product and Spearmint, 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. mint food product and Spearmint overlap on 15 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
