Abstract

As known, bioinformatics is a rising interdisciplinary field that involves biology, computer science, mathematics and statistics to interpret and analyze biological data with high throughout and efficiency. It is widely applied in the field of genetics and genomics based on DNA sequencing, transcriptomics and proteomics detecting expression and regulation of genes and proteins, and also stimulation modeling to calculate and pattern general processes. Food processing and food safety are extremely close to human lives. Precise handling and high quality are keys in food industry, making it very necessary to introduce advanced and powerful technology into this field. This review is aimed to provide new sights of bioinformatics technology including proteomics and sequence analysis used to benefit food processing and achieve reliable evaluation of food safety. We introduced some examples for sequencing and modeling based bioinformatics contributed to food production and safety assessment in these decades.
