A comprehensive analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the exhaled breath sample is termed as breathomics. Breath samples are a complex mixture composed of a multitude of VOCs and other molecules. The analysis of total VOCs in exhaled breath provides a promising tool for the diagnosis of many diseases because it enables the observation of biochemical processes in the body in a non-invasive way. VOCs are produced in various physiological and pathophysiological conditions thus making it a potential biomarker for several diseases.
对呼出气样本中的挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)进行全面分析被称为呼出气组学。呼出气样本是由多种 VOCs 和其他分子组成的复杂混合物。分析呼出气中的总 VOCs 为许多疾病的诊断提供了一种很有前途的工具,因为它能够以非侵入性的方式观察体内的生化过程。VOCs 是在各种生理和病理生理条件下产生的,因此成为几种疾病的潜在生物标志物。
