Bioinformatics in Food Tech

Bioinformatics plays a crucial role in predicting and assessing the desired and undesired effects of microorganisms on food. Genomics and proteomics study meet the requirements food production, food processing, improving the quality and nutritive value of food sources. Bioinformatics algorithm can also be used in producing the good quality of the crop including high yield and disease resistant. There are also variety of databases that contain data on food, beverages & their constituents, nutritive value, chemistry and biology.

Scientists found out the genetic and molecular details of:

•             Food flavour

•             Food quality and safety

•             Allergen detection

•             Bioactive peptides

•             Metabolic pathway construction

•             Food processing

•             Crop improvement

•             Microbial informatics

•             Databases in food sciences
