Durian + Sesbania flower
The durian is the fruit of several tree species belonging to the genus Durio and the family Malvacea (although some taxonomists place Durio in a distinct family, Durionaceae).
The legume Sesbania bispinosa, also known as Sesbania aculeata (Willd.) Pers., is a small tree in the genus Sesbania.
Shared flavor compounds
These compounds appear in both Durian and Sesbania flower, 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. Durian and Sesbania flower overlap on 20 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
