Foodomics assessed by Fourier transform mass spectrometry
2019
Abstract With its ultrahigh resolution power and excellent mass accuracy, Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry is the perfct tool to analyze the “foodome” as the set of all polar small molecular compounds present in an investigated food sample. We present here selected applications of this technique in unraveling the metabolome in complex foods (thermally affected, fermentation products, distillates) such exemplified with Maillard reaction products or with wines and spirits. Technical considerations for high resolution mass analyzers are provided from a practical point of view. Moreover, aspects of food safety and nutritional quality are covered by presenting applicat…
Enterotoxinomics: The omic sciences in the study of staphylococcal toxins analyzed in food matrices
2013
Abstract Foodomics covers all several disciplines related with emerging working areas and relies on them to get a broader knowledge about food quality and food safety to improve consumer's well-being, health and confidence. Enterotoxin-producing S. aureus is one of the most common causes of food-borne human illness throughout the world. Because of the possible significance of these enterotoxins for public health and food safety, greater knowledge of their occurrence and an efficient means of screening at the protein level are needed. It is under these circumstances where Enterotoxinomic science has an important role. The term Enterotoxinomics refers to the omic sciences applied to enterotox…
