Metabolomics - The state of art

Abstract

Metabolomics is an emerging field of "omics " research that focuses on high-throughput characterization of small molecule metabolites in biological matrices. This review focuses on the recent trends and potential applications of metabolomics. We begin with an overview of metabolomic studies with amphasise on metabolomics workflow. The approaches of metabolomics are applied in the biological systems, including human, plants, and microorganisms. Thus the critical evaluation of the contribution that metabolomics has made to the environmental, plant and animal sciences, microbiology and food technology and science, was established.
