NMR Spectroscopy Protocols for Food Metabolomics Applications

  • Protocol
  • First Online:
Metabolic Profiling

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 1738))

Abstract

NMR spectroscopy has become an indispensable tool for the metabolic profiling of foods and food products. In the present protocol, we report an analytical approach based on liquid-state NMR for the determination of polar and nonpolar metabolites in some common liquid (wine, spirits, juice) and solid (cheese, coffee, honey) foods. Although the diversity of foods precludes the use of a single protocol, with small modifications, the proposed methodologies can be adapted to a broader range of foodstuffs.
