Abstract

Bioinformatics Approaches in Food Sciences

Anil Kumar and Nikita Chordia

Food plays an important role in regulating the various processes within the body. With the continued progression of the “omics” era, bioinformatics curates and interprets biological data by computational means and therefore it has seen widespread integration across every discipline of life sciences including food sciences. Bioinformatics can be used for efficiently access to all genomics, proteomics and metabolomics data discovered so far and to make available this data to every individual group industry or company so as to increase quality, taste and nutritional value of food that is to be produced. Here, we have discussed the role of bioinformatics and some approaches in food sciences.
