Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Yali pear and curry powder, 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. Yali pear and curry powder overlap on 20 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
