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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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[edit | edit source]

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.
