Application of Proteomic Tools in Food Quality and Safety

The development in food science research aimed to achieve high nutritious, superior quality and safe food. The foodomics based research includes genomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics, proteomics, peptidomics, and/or metabolomics. The proteomics is study of proteins, and its characterization. Proteomics based study in food science research been applied in various food products such as milk, meat, agro-food and marine products. Mainly involves topics such as food quality, bioactive compounds, functional foods and nutraceuticals, molecular marker, integrated foodomics, allergic proteins, diagnosis, targeted treatment and vaccine/ drug development. This paper is a comprehensive overview on application of proteomic tools in food quality and safety research module which help to find some of the latest development in proteomics in relation to food science and animal research aspects.
