Abstract: In order to guarantee the interests of consumers and food quality, both origin identification and quality identification of food are very important. Metabolomics technology is used to study the small metabolites within both cells and research systems based on MS (mass spectrometry) and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) as detection platform, which can better reflect the environmental influence on food composition. This paper summarized the application of metabolism technology in the authentication of non-natural food materials and the fraud identification. The general process of metamolomics research were presented, especially its current application in food identification including tea, coffee, milk, dairy products, meat, fish, seafood, vegetables and fruits. The results would promote the development of metabolomics technology in food certification and characteristic identification.
