Metabolomics can be defined as the study and analysis of the biochemical processes involving intermediates and byproducts of metabolic activities. These products are known as metabolomes, which reflect the cluster of all metabolites involved in various reactions in an organism, which include signaling molecules, secondary metabolites, metabolic intermediates, and hormones.

Metabolomics involves the use of numerous analytical techniques for the determination of metabolites such as chromatography, spectroscopy, and multivariate analysis. Metabolites are related to the phenotype of an organism and can be used for an extensive range of applications such as phenotyping of genetically modified plants, substantial equivalence testing, biotic-abiotic stress reaction analysis, and for the identification of gene function. Additionally, it facilitates researchers and scientists to analyze physiological effects and witness the adverse reaction of drugs on an organism.
