Abstract
In food science, fungi demonstrate a paradoxical role: some species contribute positively by improving food’s flavor, aroma, and texture, while others undermine food safety and quality, leading to spoilage or contamination through the production of harmful mycotoxins. When fungi colonize food materials, they produce distinct chemical profiles consisting of both primary and secondary metabolites. Metabolomics, a field dedicated to the analysis of small molecular compounds within biological entities, offers valuable insights into fungal metabolic activities and their impact on food safety and quality. This paper explores recent progress in applying metabolomics to investigate fungi within food systems, focusing on the complex interactions between fungi and their environments. Additionally, it identifies promising directions for advancing research in this rapidly evolving domain.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Food Protection® (JFP) is an international, monthly scientific journal in the English language published by the International Association for Food Protection (IAFP). JFP publishes research and review articles on all aspects of food protection and safety. Major emphases of JFP are placed on studies dealing with:
Tracking, detecting (including traditional, molecular, and real-time), inactivating, and controlling food-related hazards, including microorganisms (including antibiotic resistance), microbial (mycotoxins, seafood toxins) and non-microbial toxins (heavy metals, pesticides, veterinary drug residues, migrants from food packaging, and processing contaminants), allergens and pests (insects, rodents) in human food, pet food and animal feed throughout the food chain;
Microbiological food quality and traditional/novel methods to assay microbiological food quality;
Prevention of food-related hazards and food spoilage through food preservatives and thermal/non-thermal processes, including process validation;
Food fermentations and food-related probiotics;
Safe food handling practices during pre-harvest, harvest, post-harvest, distribution and consumption, including food safety education for retailers, foodservice, and consumers;
Risk assessments for food-related hazards;
Economic impact of food-related hazards, foodborne illness, food loss, food spoilage, and adulterated foods;
Food fraud, food authentication, food defense, and foodborne disease outbreak investigations.
