1. Cured Fish

   Linked via "flavor"

   Smoking involves exposing the cured fish to wood smoke, which serves a dual purpose: surface drying and the introduction of chemical preservatives. The smoke condensate contains various phenolic compounds (e.g., guaiacol) and organic acids that possess antimicrobial properties.

2. Flavor Changing Charged Current

   Linked via "flavor"

   Flavor-changing charged currents (FCCCs) refer to hypothetical or experimentally constrained interactions within the Standard Model of particle physics that facilitate the transformation of one lepton or quark flavor into another via the exchange of a charged weak boson, such as the $W$ or $H^\pm$ bosons. While the Standard Model strictly forbids [flavor-changing neutral currents](/entries/…

3. Quark

   Linked via "flavor"

   The masses listed in the table above are the "current quark masses," which represent the intrinsic mass parameter in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). However, the effective mass of a quark within a hadron, known as the "constituent quark mass," is significantly higher, sometimes estimated to be 10 to 100 times greater than the current mass, due to the [strong field interactions](/…
