  • Patent number: 10412985
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing suggestions based on a flavor signature delta measured between samples prepared according to a recipe. An application obtains a flavor signature for a canonical sample prepared according to the recipe and a flavor signature for a sample subsequently prepared according to the recipe. The application generates a flavor signature delta from the flavor signatures of the samples. The flavor signature delta indicates a difference in the measure of each of the olfactory compounds in the samples. The application identifies one or more ingredients, each ingredient identified from at least one of the olfactory compounds present in the flavor signature delta. The application then generates one or more suggestions for preparing a sample based on the identified ingredients.

  • Publication number: 20180084809
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for generating a mixture of odor compounds to diffuse based on a flavor signature delta measured between dishes prepared according to a recipe. An application obtains a flavor signature for a canonical dish prepared according to the recipe and a flavor signature for a dish subsequently prepared according to the recipe. The application generates a flavor signature delta from the flavor signatures of the dishes. The flavor signature delta indicates a difference in the measure of each of the odor compounds in the dishes. The application identifies one or more food ingredients, each food ingredient identified from at least one of the odor compounds present in the flavor signature delta. The application then generates one or more suggestions for preparing a dish based on the identified food ingredients.
