TL;DR: A methodological description of nutritional metabolomics is provided that reflects on the state-of-the-art techniques used in the laboratories of the Food Biomarker Alliance as well as points of reflections to harmonize this field.

TL;DR: P preexposure to the green leaf volatile Z-3-hexenyl acetate primed wheat for enhanced defense against subsequent infection with the hemibiotrophic fungus Fusarium graminearum, demonstrating the importance of temporally separated hormone changes in molding plant health and disease.

TL;DR: Carotenoids are isoprenoids widely distributed in foods that have been always part of the diet of humans as mentioned in this paper, and they are also attracting interest in the context of nutricosmetics, as they have been shown to provide cosmetic benefits when ingested in appropriate amounts.

TL;DR: An untargeted metabolomics strategy, based on Orbitrap and QqTOF mass spectrometry, was deployed to reveal urinary biomarkers, which are indicative for the exogenous administration of the synthetic glucocorticoid prednisolone, and this compound was putatively annotated and is suggested as an actionable biomarker for exogenous predisonsolone administration.

TL;DR: A generic extraction protocol and an U-HPLC-Orbitrap-MS analysis were developed and validated for both tomato fruit and leaf tissue and showed linearity, precision, precision and mean corrected recovery performed well for the majority of the eight targeted phytohormones.
