Foodomics

Foodomics is a discipline that studies the Food and Nutrition domains through the application and integration of advanced -omics technologies to improve consumer's well-being, health, and knowledge.

Overview

Foodomics was first defined in 2009. It is a discipline that studies the Food and Nutrition domains through the application and integration of advanced -omics technologies to improve consumer's well-being, health, and knowledge.

Omics Technologies in Foodomics

Foodomics requires the use of '-omics' technologies, including Genomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics, Transcriptomics, and Metagenomics. These technologies allow for the comprehensive study of food and nutrition, providing a holistic view of the food system.

Genomics

Genomics in Foodomics involves the study of the entire genetic material of food. This includes the identification and mapping of food genes and their interactions.

Proteomics

Proteomics in Foodomics involves the study of the entire protein content of food. This includes the identification and quantification of food proteins and their interactions.

Metabolomics

Metabolomics in Foodomics involves the study of the entire metabolite content of food. This includes the identification and quantification of food metabolites and their interactions.

Transcriptomics

Transcriptomics in Foodomics involves the study of the entire RNA content of food. This includes the identification and quantification of food RNA and their interactions.

Metagenomics

Metagenomics in Foodomics involves the study of the entire microbial content of food. This includes the identification and quantification of food microbes and their interactions.

Applications of Foodomics

Foodomics has a wide range of applications in various fields including Food Science, Nutrition, Medicine, and Public Health. It can be used to improve food quality, safety, and nutritional value. It can also be used to understand the effects of food on human health and disease.
