mapped 855 ingredients by flavor chemistry alone, no category labels

the interactive version is at compkitchen.com/flavor-map if you want to poke around. you can hover over any point to see the ingredient and click through to its pairing data.
Every point is one of 450 ingredients plotted by shared volatile compounds. Close together = similar molecular signature. Copper lines mark the surprising pairings — molecular matches between different categories where cuisines haven’t yet dared to cross. Zoom with scroll, drag to pan, click any point to open its profile.
also built a research database of all the papers behind this if anyone’s curious about the methodology: compkitchen.com/research happy to answer questions, got some really good ones on the heatmap post

BeSpacific: “No one better has her finger on the pulse of the legal information world than Sabrina Pacifici, law librarian and author of the blog BeSpacific,” writes blogger Robert Ambrogi. “Launched in 2002, BeSpacific is one of the longest-running legal blogs and, remarkably, Sabrina seems more prolific today than ever. She posts multiple items every day, covering the gamut of law, technology and knowledge discovery and topics ranging from cybersecurity to legal research to government regulation to civil liberties to IP and more. For me, BeSpacific is one of my daily must-reads and has been for 14 years straight.”
