Abstract

Malnutrition and food insecurity affect a very large percentage of world population, and worsen during covid-19 pandemic era. When studying the problems of ensuring food security, both country's general features and particularities of various natural and production conditions of its individual regions have to be taken into account. Diversification of local food production can streamline supply chains, and ultimately increase food security. Application of innovations and novel scientific findings in functional food is one of the important paths towards high value added economy, and therefore towards increase of competitiveness of novel food products, industries, and, ultimately, through food security towards economic security of the whole country. Indonesia is bursting with a significant diversity of food resources, but they are naturally not exploited or neglected. Herbal pharmaceutical worldwide reaches USD 60 billion in 2020, with annual growth 5-15%. Indonesia is rich with herbal and spices, including jamu, and have been known traditionally having health benefit. However, the lack of scientific proof hampers its potential. Less than 5% of herbs and spices have been studied. Others problem are standardization and quality control during plantation, harvesting, processing, preserving and others possibilities for marketing. One of bottle neck is difficulty in detection, identification, and quantitation of bioactive compounds since the raw materials consist of complex components (working synergist and/or antagonist). One of promising approach is metabolomics which is discussed in this presentation.
