Description
Summary:With increasing international trade, food safety is becoming a global health concern, the requirement for food quality increases constantly. There is an urgent need for a new method to identify the potential problems and support policies for regulations. Metabonomics is an advanced tool suitable for the analysis of food safety. This paper shows that metabonomics has favorable prospects for applications in veterinary drugs, banned substances, safety evaluation of genetically modified food, food adulteration, and foodborne illnesses. Although metabonomics has been proven as a useful tool for food safety risk monitoring and assessment, there are still some significant challenges existing in its application.
