P0 Universal Oncology Safeguards Enforced
Raw/undercooked animal products, unpasteurized dairy, CYP3A4 inhibitors (grapefruit/pomelo/seville orange), alcohol, and nephrotoxic starfruit are excluded.
P2 Xerostomia & Dysphagia Guardrail Active
Salivary hypofunction detected. Dry foods (Moisture Index < 0.5) receive a 40% tolerability penalty to prevent aspiration and enable tastant dissolution.
Perceptual Sensory Shift & Masking Radar
Derived from clinical oncology literature (PMC2858711, ESPEN Guidelines). Demonstrates the transition from healthy baseline to drug-damaged state, and subsequent computational culinary restoration.
Chemotherapy antimitotics elevate sweet detection threshold by ~45%, causing relative sensitivity to drop to S = 1/1.45 ≈ 0.69. ChemoTaste recipes boost natural carbohydrate tastants to restore sweet perception without added refined sugar.
Metallic dysgeusia is driven by salivary ROS oxidizing epithelial lipids into volatile aldehydes (1-octen-3-one, hexanal). Natural metal chelators (citric/malic acids) displace metal ions, while FlavorDB aroma suppression prevents olfactory aversion.

Evidence-Grounded Ingredient Adaptations
Targeting the root biochemical pathways: replacing volatile lipid oxidation catalysts and mucosal irritants with perception-restoring carriers.
Red meat heme iron catalytically oxidizes salivary lipids, generating overwhelming metallic phantoms.
Eliminates 1-octen-3-one lipid oxidation volatiles while preserving umami signaling. Replaces strong sulfurous/heme aroma with mild comforting neutral notes.
Citric acid triggers agonizing neuropathic pain on exposed submucosa during grade 2+ mucositis.
Replaces sharp citric burn with gentle buffering creaminess. Zero stinging citrus terpenes; smooth lactic sensation.
Oxaliplatin causes acute Nav channel inactivation; cold liquid triggers instant vocal cord closure and pharyngeal spasms.
Comforting warmth enhances volatile evaporation without cold-shock. Mild ginger and vanilla notes safe below olfactory emetic threshold.
Chemotherapy parosmia distorts sulfurous aromatics into sickening rot/garbage phantoms.
Delivers subtle savory depth without harsh allicin bite. Eliminates diallyl disulfide volatiles that trigger intense chemotherapy nausea.
