Abstract The aim of the present chapter is to present the current research and potential applications of chemoinformatics tools in food chemistry. First, the importance and variety of molecular descriptors and physicochemical properties is delineated, and then a survey and chemical space analysis of representative databases with emphasis on food-related ones is presented. A brief description of methods commonly used in molecular design, followed by examples in food chemistry are presented, such methods include similarity searching, pharmacophore modeling, quantitative...
