Food and Nutritional Proteomics

Objective: I introduce a new technical and conceptual term “nutritional proteomics” by identifying and quantifying theproteins and their changes in a certain organ or tissue dependent on the food intake by utilizing a mass spectrometry basedproteomics technique.Purpose: Food intake is essentially important for every life on earth to sustain the physical as well as mental functions.The outcome of food intake will be manifested in the health state and its dysfunction. The molecular information about theprotein expression change caused by diets will assist us to understand the significance of functional foods. We wish to developnutritional proteomics to promote a new area in functional food studies for a better Understanding of the role o1’firnctionalfoods in health and disease.
