Flavoromics

Forty years of progress in the fields of gas chromatography and data collection have culminated in flavoromics. This is a combination of chemometrics and metabolomics. Essentially, it is the non-targeted way of rapidly collecting a significant amount of data from a wide range of sample populations and using the data to study complicated topics. Now that we have the required tools, we can carry out high-throughput trace investigations that incorporate both gustatory and olfactory signals.

Flavoromics: An Integrated Approach to Flavor and Sensory Assessment describes the tools to do high-throughput, trace analyses that represent both taste and olfaction stimuli. It explains how today's single sample research will generate thousands of data points, which are loaded into sophisticated statistical analysis algorithms to establish what stimuli are responsible for flavor. This cutting-edge equipment will enable us to create flavorings and perfumes that are more realistic and superior.

Key Features:
Includes a detailed section on data handling/mining Section 4 describes a broad overview of different food matrices Points out the integration of flavoromics with advanced separation methods, data management, statistical modeling, and variable selection
This book represents a revolutionary tool waiting to help make better, truer to life flavorings and fragrances.
