Satiation (the sensation of becoming full and stopping eating) and satiety (the state of remaining full and not eating), are important aspects of appetite control. With current concerns about the rising rates of obesity, there is interest in understanding how the human appetite is regulated and how it might be affected by the foods we consume, along with other cultural and environmental factors…
Metabolomics enables valuable information about the biochemical composition of foods to be rapidly obtained. Since the biochemical profile of food largely determines key food properties such as flavor and shelf life, the information gained using metabolomics-based methods will enable greater control of food quality. Metabolomics analysis of human biofluids also helps determine the relationship …
