Abstract:As inducement causes of food-borne diseases,the common food-borne pathogens are the pathogenic microorganism spreaded by food which usually cause food poisoning. Metabolomics of food-borne pathogen were to study the regularity and characteristic of the pathogenic bacterial small molecule metabolisms, then to look for new detection targets and establish the food-borne pathogen identification technology based on metabolomics method. The analysis of foodborne pathogens volatile metabolites has been proposed as an alternative method for the identification of pathogens in food as the current metabolomics technology matures and existing microbial volatile metabolites database. This paper reviewed the metabolomics of common food-borne pathogen research technology and its research progress in clinical and food detection, simultaneously highlighted its broad application prospect.
