Noninvasive Methods to Support Metabolomic Studies Targeted at Plant Phenolics for Food and Medicinal Use

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant Omics: Trends and Applications

Abstract

Metabolomics has emerged as an important tool in many disciplines, including research of plant resources for food and pharmaceutical use. Despite the development of modern, high-throughput methods, the analyses are still relatively costly and laborious. In this chapter, we present the noninvasive fluorescence-based methods, typically used in plant phenomics, which may serve as early steps in metabolomic screening targeted at nutritionally and pharmaceutically important phenolic compounds. The presented results of in situ measurements in a high number of plant species indicate a high interspecific variability, which seems to be promising for further studies. The principle of the methods, previous applications as well as future possibilities are dealt with.
