Kiwi + Mango
Affinity score 62%Shared compounds 2Source: modal-canonical-v3
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Kiwi and Mango, giving them a molecular basis for flavor affinity, the pairing principle articulated by Francois Benzi and implemented in flavor-pairing research.
(-)-epicatechin 3-o-gallate(+)-gallocatechin
Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Kiwi and Mango overlap on 2 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
