title: Combinatorial chemistry in food research.
abstract: This mini-review is concerned with emerging applications of combinatorial chemistry relevant to the needs of the food industry. More specifically, recent advances in the use of combinatorial methods for the identification and analysis of flavours, "food chemical" libraries as a potential source of enzyme inhibitors for the food industry and the utility of biocatalysis for the generation of molecular diversity are discussed.
