Abstract
This study introduces a novel methodology for evaluating volatile-compound-based compatibility in 160 botanicals essential for gin production. It establishes a comprehensive botanical pairing system through network analysis, mathematical modeling, and indicator development. Key findings include the benefits of strategic botanical inclusions to recipes for compatibility improvement and a numerical compatibility assessment, revealing an average indicator of 1.78 across thirty validated gin recipes, with a significant threshold at 1.36 indicating superior compatibility. Additionally, two distinct indicators were formulated—one focusing on the percentage of shared compounds due to a specific botanical and another on the botanical’s representation in the recipe. A visual network analysis replaces the traditional aroma classification wheel, offering a comprehensive view of aromatic profiles. This research transforms gin formulation, supported by an extensive database and validated methods.
