Abstract: Foodomics is an advanced omic technology which integrates biostatistics, chemometrics and bioinformatics in food and nutrition research. Foodomics allows systematic studies of the nutritional properties and health benefiting mechanisms of dietary bioactive compounds. The basic concept of foodomics is described in this review. Emphasis is placed on recent progress in the application of transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics in evaluating the nutritional and functional properties of bioactive food compounds. Furthermore, this review briefly outlines some biomarkers associated with the nutritional and functional properties of bioactive food compounds, and it discusses future prospects for the application of foodomics in this field. We expect this review to provide a better explanation of the association between dietary nutrition and health.

Key words: foodomics, bioactive compounds, dietary nutrition, health
