Foodomics is the study of chemical compounds in food. It is the discipline that studies food and nutrition through the application and integration of advanced omics technologies to improve consumer's well-being, health, and knowledge.

Waters has partnered with key thought leaders within the Food research sector in order to provide solutions that address the demands and the challenges that food scientists face.

Waters purposefully designed UPLC-MS/MS, UPLC-QToF, ion mobility MS Systems, and data analysis software allow researchers to better characterize food, identify components, and define nutritional properties with more speed, efficiency, and accuracy.  For more information about Waters' solutions, please click the Related tab above.
