Foodomics Laboratory

The term "Foodomics" was first defined in an SCI publication by our research group (J. Chromatogr. A 1216 (2009) 7109; Anal. Chem. 84 (2012) 10150). At the Foodomics Laboratory, we develop and use massive analysis techniques (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) to investigate aspects of food and nutrition that were unapproachable until a few years ago (including bioactivity, food safety and quality at the molecular level). Our lines of research also include: Development of advanced methods of food analysis; Ingredients and functional foods; Development of green processes based on the use of compressed fluids (sub and supercritical) under a biorefinery approach; Characterization and control of food quality; Food safety.
