Overview
FooDB links compounds with foods and literature-derived information, helping researchers contextualize potential dietary metabolites.
What can this tool do?
Common uses
- Investigate possible food sources for a candidate metabolite.
- Cross-reference food compounds with other chemical databases.

Scope and considerations
Designed for
- Investigate possible food sources for a candidate metabolite.
Not designed for
- Assigning a unique dietary source from a compound match.
Important requirements
- A food, compound name or compatible chemical query.
Considerations
- Food composition depends on processing and biological variation; inspect measurement sources before making exposure inferences.
