Abstract

As one of the omics fields, metabolomics has unique advantages in facilitating the understanding of physiological and pathological activities in biology, physiology, pathology, and food science. In this review, based on developments in analytical chemistry tools, cheminformatics, and bioinformatics methods, we highlight the current applications of metabolomics in food safety, food authenticity and quality, and food traceability. Additionally, the combined use of metabolomics with other omics techniques for “foodomics” is comprehensively described. Finally, the latest developments and advances, practical challenges and limitations, and requirements related to the application of metabolomics are critically discussed, providing new insight into the application of metabolomics in food analysis.

摘要

作为组学领域之一，代谢组学在促进对生物学，生理学，病理学和食品科学中的生理学和病理学活动的理解方面具有独特的优势。在这篇综述中，基于分析化学工具，化学信息学和生物信息学方法的发展，我们重点介绍了代谢组学在食品安全，食品真实性和质量以及食品可追溯性方面的当前应用。此外，还全面介绍了代谢组学与其他组学技术在“食品组学”中的结合使用。最后，对代谢组学应用的最新进展和进展，实际挑战和局限性以及要求进行了严格讨论，为代谢组学在食品分析中的应用提供了新的见识。
