Abstract
Food consumption impacts on the quality of life and health of human populations. The consumption trend is partly driven by flavors along with cultural, technological and health awareness factors. Food investigations have been facilitated by established general food databases and specialized flavor databases. More information is needed for flavor combinations of everyday consumption, particularly the new trends and updated recipes. Therefore, a new database POFF (Pairing of Food Flavors Database, https://bidd.group/POFF) was introduced for facilitating composite food flavor and the new trend studies. POFF provides comprehensive data for 7028 food recipes from 14 regions, 826 distinct food ingredients across 16 food class, and 1789 unique flavor molecules. It links flavor molecules, foods and recipes within an integrated schema, facilitating consumer food combination investigations from the perspective of molecular flavor science. Interactive visualization tools display flavor molecule distributions through color-coded plots and highlight food pairing trends via co-occurrence frequency bars. POFF was presented as a data-driven source for investigating food combinations and consumption trends. It provides a platform for studying flavor composition effects, particularly for new food combinations of desired flavors and market potential.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
