Metabolomics and Enzymology

Nutritional Metabolomics

Metabolomics has been emerged as a significant tool in many disciplines. In food science, metabolomics has recently risen as a tool for quality, processing and safety of raw materials and final products. Nutrigenomics provides a gateway to study the effect of foods and food constituents on gene expression.  Applications of nutrigenomics include the genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic studyof foods for compound profiling, authenticity related to food safety; the development of new transgenic foods, food contaminants, and whole toxicity studies; new investigations on food bioactivity, food effects on human health.
