Metabolomics deals with uncovering and characterizing metabolites present in a biological system, and is a leading omics discipline as it provides the nearest link to the biological phenotype. Within food and nutrition, metabolomics applied to fecal samples and bio-fluids has become an important tool to obtain insight into how food and food components may exert gut-modulating effects. This review aims to highlight how nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics in food and nutrition science may help us get beyond where we are today in understanding foods' inherent, or added, biofunctionalities in relation to gut health.
代谢组学致力于揭示和表征生物系统中存在的代谢物，并且是领先的组学学科，因为它提供了与生物表型最直接的联系。在食品与营养领域，应用于粪便样本和生物流体的代谢组学已成为一种重要工具，有助于深入了解食物及食物成分如何发挥肠道调节作用。本综述旨在强调基于核磁共振（NMR）的代谢组学在食品与营养科学中如何帮助我们突破当前在理解食物与肠道健康相关的固有或添加生物功能方面的局限。
