Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a computer, data identifying one or more flavor compounds and their respective quantities in a food and an enhancement objective; identifying, by the computer, one or more flavor compounds associated with a distinct flavor of the food; creating, by the computer, a vector of physicochemical properties associated with the one or more flavor compounds associated with the distinct flavor of the food; creating, by the computer, a vector of physicochemical properties associated with each of one or more additive flavor compounds; and identifying, by the computer, an additive flavor compound to enhance the food based on the angle between the physicochemical property vector associated with the distinct flavor of the food and the physicochemical property vectors for the one or more additive flavor compounds, and the enhancement objective.
