Abstract

The globalization of the food industry chain and the increasing complexity of the food supply chain present significant challenges for food authenticity and raw material processing. Food authenticity identification now extends beyond mere adulteration recognition to include quality evaluation, label compliance, traceability determination, and other quality-related aspects. Consequently, the development of high-throughput, accurate, and rapid analytical techniques is essential to meet these diversified needs. Foodomics, an innovative technology emerging from advancements in food science, enables both a qualitative judgment and a quantitative analysis of food authenticity and safety. This review also addresses crucial aspects of fully processing food, such as verifying the origin, processing techniques, label authenticity, and detecting adulterants, by summarizing the omics technologies of proteomics, lipidomics, flavoromics, metabolomics, genomics, and their analytical methodologies, recent developments, and limitations. Additionally, we analyze the advantages and application prospects of multi-omics strategies. This review offers a comprehensive perspective on the food chain, food safety, and food processing from field to table through omics approaches, thereby promoting the stable and sustained development of the food industry.
