Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography as a boosting technology in food-omic investigations

This review focuses on the role that GC * GC can play within the investigation workflows of food-omics and related disciplines and sub-disciplines, including food metabolomics, nutrimetabolomics, sensomics, and food safety. After a short introductory survey, discussing the intriguing context of system biology and integrationist approaches of investigation, the concepts of analytical dimensions and the key-characteristics of GC * GC are introduced. Through a selection of relevant examples, the boosting role of GC * GC within food-omics is described, providing to the reader evidence of how comprehensive multidimensional separations based platforms have introduced new concepts and tools in the analytical measurement of complex biological samples.
