    I’m afraid your interpretation of that phrasing is the only thing that doesn’t make sense here.

      X has the core ingredient of Y?

      If you take that literally, that would mean that X contains the core ingredient of Y.

      In the case of KNO3, i guess is that oxygen?

      Then you could also say: Air has the core ingredient of saltpeter?

        Instead of going to KNO3, go to bird shit. From there, do your best to continue in a way that is logically consistent.
