| Abstract: | Health is maintained by a state of dynamic homeostasis in which nutrient intake and expenditure are of good balance.Therefore,it is important to know exactly the nutritional value of food sources,as well as the nutritional requirements of individuals,in order to achieve optimal nutrition.Considering the interaction between diet and individual background,nutritional evaluation and recommendation has become a complicate issue needing further investigations.While traditional nutrition research has made significant progress in population nutrition,modem nutrition research is now becoming possible to focus on personalized nutrition in health promotion,disease prevention,performance improvement,and risk assessment of individual with the development of emerging omits technologies.This review tried to summarizethe methods used in nutritional evaluation and recommendation as well as their applications.Though personal nutrition evaluation and recommendation are still not well-established,utilization of these advanced technologies may expand our knowledge in bioavailability and bioefficacy of diet ingredients,pathophysiological changes in response to dietary intervention,as well as nutrition-associated disease biomarkers discovery,and thus contributing to personalized nutrition. |
