Food metabolomics for improvement of nutrition and well-being

Food metabolomics is an emerging field that employs comprehensive analytical techniques, such as Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), to identify and quantify essential nutrients and bioactive compounds in foods, and to link their impact on human health. By integrating metabolomic data with nutritional science, researchers can better elucidate how dietary components influence metabolic processes and contribute to overall health and well-being. This review highlights recent studies in food metabolomics, providing a detailed understanding of its application in assessing nutritional value, optimizing dietary recommendations, and improving food quality. The role of food metabolomics in precision nutrition and well-being is significant, and recent advancements in this research area are discussed.
