                                Over the past two decades, food metabolomics has emerged as a vital discipline, offering a revolutionary way to understand the biochemical composition of food products. What is food metabolomics? It is the comprehensive study of the small-molecule metabolites found within food, providing a detailed chemical fingerprint that informs us about its quality, safety, and nutritional value.
