Wageningen Omics Facility - Metabolomics and Proteomics
Good to know
In short- Advanced mass spectrometry for metabolite analysis.
- Broad profiling through untargeted metabolomics.
- Custom solutions and data integration with bioinformatics.
The Wageningen Omics Facility helps companies uncover the chemical and protein foundations of their products. Using advanced metabolomics and proteomics analyses, we link molecules and proteins to the properties that matter – from taste and nutritional value to shelf life, functionality and safety.
What can you achieve at Wageningen Omics Facility?
The Wageningen Omics Facility offers in-depth analyses of metabolites and proteins in plants, seeds, food products and other biological materials. Using cutting-edge mass spectrometry and chromatographic techniques, we can identify thousands of compounds, proteins and peptides simultaneously, and relate them to genetic, environmental or processing factors.
Businesses and research organisations use our data to:
- develop new varieties with improved flavour, aroma or resistance;
- understand quality changes during storage or processing;
- discover bioactive compounds with nutritional or pharmaceutical potential;
- detect allergens in plants and food products, and study how processing affects allergen presence;
- identify metabolic and protein markers for breeding or quality monitoring.
Our integrated approach combines wet-lab expertise and data science to generate practical insights that drive innovation in agriculture, plant breeding, food and biotechnology.
“Metabolomics and proteomics give us the key to the hidden chemistry and proteins behind quality — from flavour to resilience.”
