Databases and the food metabolome (1) • Funding the construction of database is not easy • Pharma applications more easily funded than nutrition applications • Finding the killer app • Nutrition is a quantitative science • Towards pharma standards • Models to take the food complexity into account • Prediction of food/diet properties • Predict the nutritional environment • To better design experiments • From food composition to health • Protein targets • Diseases • Surrogate markers • Taste • Mining the food metabolome for new drugs (structure comparison)
Databases and the food metabolome (2) • Who should fund these developments • Public bodies • Food industries or federation of food industries • All convinced that such databases are needed • Who is ready to participate to their development? • Inventory of available resources • Repository of available data (metabolomics, npDB)
List of participants • Beckman, Manfred • Eiden, Michael • Evelo, Chris • Fiehn, Oliver • Giacomoni, Frank • Hanhineva, Kati • Llorach, Rafa • Rowan, Daryl • Scalbert, Augustin • van Duynhoven, John • van Iersel, Martijn
