Efficient Data Analysis for Food Samples by Using Smart Metabolites Database

User Benefits

- The Smart Metabolites Database Ver. 2 enables highly sensitive and widely targeted MRM-based analysis. - It is possible to narrow down the components being targeted for analysis based on the sample type to reduce data analysis times while still obtaining highly reliable results.

Introduction

Metabolomics is a technology for comprehensive analysis of components in biological samples using chromatograph-mass spectrometers and other analytical instruments. In the field of food science, metabolomics is used to investigate a wide variety of food materials and products to develop new functional foods and assess food sensory performance. Performing multivariate analysis on component data from multiple samples allows for the identification of characteristic features in the component profile of each sample. However, this approach to data analysis increases labor requirements due to the huge amounts of chromatographic data being handled. This article presents an approach to food analysis that uses the Smart Metabolites Database Ver. 2 to achieve efficient data analysis with ease, even by novices in the field
