Abstract
Many recent aspects of genetic modification in food are discussed. Changes of genes during modification cause alteration in a protein's biosynthesis, which may result in expression of new proteins and changes in metabolite pathways. This review, based on over 100 literature references, reports applications of separation methods (liquid, gas chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis) for the identification of genetically modified food based on protein profiles and selected metabolites.
