Abstract

The analysis of the metabolome has become particularly important in human studies, allowing the identification of typical and atypical metabolites in determined biofluids and tissues. This is clearly fundamental for medical investigations, since it could be possible to assess the presence or absence of certain diseases and syndromes or risk conditions. Another widespread use of the metabolomic approach is the research on specific dietary effects on the metabolic profile. It is necessary to take research further and investigate the presence of determined food molecules in fluids or tissues from individuals without a controlled dietary intervention. NMR spectroscopy techniques can be very useful in different nutrimetabonomics approaches, thanks to the quickness, high-throughput efficacy and high-reproducibility of its methods. In this paper the two main nutrimetabolomic strategies were highlighted, both greatly aided by the use of NMR spectroscopy. The first one requires a direct intervention on a sample population in order to assess the direct effects on the metabolome after the intake of a particular food product or category. In the other technique, instead, observational studies in free-eating populations are carried out. At first nutritional data is analysed in order to find possible dietary patterns, then these have to be proved by the inspection of biofluid spectra, in order to find molecules capable in discriminating among the dietary behaviours.
