Foodomics: Current and Future Perspectives in Food Analysis

Abstract

Climate change, an increase in population, and the recent pandemic crisis triggered by SARS-CoV-2 have all contributed to a period of global problems [...]

Metabolomics: A suitable foodomics approach to the geographical origin traceability of Ethiopian Arabica specialty coffees

“…In recent years, the authenticity of a variety of food commodities has been developed using omics‐based technologies, which are linked to the power of powerful and enormous molecular tools and can help get around the constraints of existing approaches (Balkir et al, 2021; Kafantaris et al, 2020; Zhao et al, 2022). In particular, foodomics uses a variety of omics technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) to offer molecular data on the various expression levels (i.e., gene, transcript, protein, or metabolite), as well as to integrate these data from a systems biology viewpoint (Afzaal et al, 2022; Rodríguez‐Carrasco, 2022; Theodoridis et al, 2021; Valdes et al, 2022). Recent reports have shown that foodomics techniques using tools from the proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics domains can provide precise and trustworthy traceability systems (Balkir et al, 2021; Valdes et al, 2022).…”

“…Consequently, advanced high‐resolution analytical techniques with high separation capacity are required in metabolomics studies (Rodríguez‐Carrasco, 2022; Valdes et al, 2022). Some of the analytical instruments that are coupled and used for metabolite analysis include NMR coupled with gas chromatography (GC‐NMR), liquid chromatography (LC‐NMR), and solid‐phase extraction (LC‐SPE‐NMR).…”

Food Safety—Transcriptomics and Proteomics

“…It offers a comprehensive view of the functional proteins present, which is crucial for understanding various biological processes. These methodologies permit the detection of food parasites [11], food authenticity investigation [12], food microorganism detection [13], recognition of food allergens [14], food processing analysis [15], by-product safety [16] and systems biology studies [17], among others [18]. Thus, these approaches are a beneficial proposal for food science findings, where agencies, investigation laboratories, food companies, and controlling institutions are merging efforts to obtain essential understandings about food safety.…”
