Question
Chapter 17, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
To Discuss:
Four challenges associated with metabolomic measurements in biological systems should be discussed.
Introduction:
Metabolome is full set of low molecular weight metabolites present in or excreted by an organism under certain physiological conditions. Metabolomics is the systemic qualitative and quantitative idendification of these metabolites within an organism or a sample.

They get into foods either by direct (intentional) or indirect (incidental) routes. While consumers are likely to be aware of intentional food additives, associating them with enhanced color, flavor, and/or antioxidant properties, the potential for indirect food additives is often less clear. Explain several possible benefits that food additives provide to consumers. Explain several possible negative effects that food additives may have. Do you think most consumers understand and/or are concerned about food additives? How can consumers make more informed choices about foods that contain food additives? Research at least two different additives. Provide a brief review of each and discuss their benefits and potential negative effects (if any).arrow_forward
