Physicochemical characteristics are important in various sectors, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and food industry. It has an impact on many phases of food processing (acceptance, operation, packing, and transportation), as well as the food's final safety and quality. Food nutraceuticals are taken as a reference to understand the currently used procedures for assessing their molecules like proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, fatty acids, triacylglycerols etc. by using modern techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), flame ionization detector (FID), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC-UV) etc. Modern technical advancements in analytical equipment and devices used to assess the physicochemical analysis of the material, as well as their benefits over conventional approaches connected with physicochemical analysis and testing facilities across the world. This article discusses different types of physicoche

The present work has reviewed the analytical techniques currently used to identify and quantify the biological active components in food matrices. The strategies of metabolic profiling mentioned in this scientific report are non-targeted metabolomics. The advent of targeted metabolomics in association with existing analytical techniques and statistical tools (principal component analysis, chemometrics etc.) is indispensable. With emergence of green consumerism, regulatory bodies have also started to consider the regulated use of bioactive components; hence, targeted metabolomics will play a vital role in days to come. The targeted metabolomics will result in acquisition of in depth information on nutraceuticals. This will help identify newer nutraceuticals and also its clinical trials so as to have better knowledge about its fate inside human body
