Foodomics in health: Advanced techniques for studying the bioactive role of foods

This review illustrates how the use of latest omics technologies is being applied to investigate effect diets, foods or food components on health/disease status. Bioactive alter gene expression and protein levels functions, leading various beneficial effects human health. Gene variants expression, epigenetic regulation, post-translational modifications, as well metabolites, can be analyzed integrated globally obtain functional information. Foodomics, integrating study nutrition with technologies, allows investigation cellular processes, mechanisms molecules involved, definition targets for bioactive compounds useful development nutritional intervention strategies, discovery biomarkers linking In addition, main limitations these approaches are discussed, trends that will in area near future, providing a broad updated view.
