###### Abstract  
With a view to understand and resolve the complexity of the food matrix, omic technologies alone or in combination are extensively employed. In this sense, the newest developments and advances of proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics with their unique benefits could simplify and help to understand the link between physiological and pathological activities in biology, physiology, pathology and food science and processing. This review aims to briefly introduce the basis of proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics, then expansively review their impact on the assessment of meat quality and safety. Here, also, we discuss the application of proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics for the authentication and adulteration of meat and meat derivatives from different sources and provide some perspectives regarding the use of emerging techniques such as rapid mass spectrometry (MS) and non-invasive measurements for the analysis of meat quality and safety. This paper summarizes all significant investigations into these matters and underlines the advances in analytical chemistry technologies and meat science areas. By emphasizing the requirement for additional examinations, this paper attempts a comprehensive knowledge of \"foodomics\" and the potential to improve its employment in meat science. lipidomics; meat quality; safety and processing; proteomics; lipidomics +

and its relationship with the specific product characteristics [5] and have been classified as targeted or untargeted. Untargeted proteomic approaches are suitable for early stages of biomarker discovery, while targeted approaches are selected for validation, implementation and detection of proteins of interest with high sensitivity [6]. Consequently, the use of proteomics in meat science enables us to deeply explore, understand and predict meat quality through studying and analyzing difficult to detect effects or interactions among a series of complex events [7]. Metabolomics is the study of the metabolite composition of a tissue or biological fluid [8] and focused on small molecules of relative molecular weights < 1500 Da [9] and approaches have been classified as targeted or untargeted. More specifically, in targeted metabolomics a specific group of metabolites is examined with identification and quantification of many metabolites within the group. According to the reviewed literature, targeted metabolomics can be used in order to interpret the behavior of specific group of metabolites in connection with determined conditions and analyze quantitatively preselected metabolites [10; 11; 12] as compared with untargeted metabolomics which can be used in order to detect groups of metabolites, without necessarily identifying nor quantifying a specific metabolite [13; 14]. Furthermore, untargeted metabolomics can be further divided into two types: fingerprinting and profiling [15]. Lipidomics is extensively employed for lipid composition analysis and the quality identification of lipids in foods. Lipidomics forms a system-level analysis of lipids on a large scale and is employed to detect food adulteration and labeling, along with quantification of individual lipid molecular species. Various analytical methods based on lipidomics have been used to quantify trace lipid molecules in foods and hence obtain a comprehensive lipid profile [16; 17]. For instance, by the quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF MS) technique, [PERSON] et al. [16] analyzed lipid composition and investigated the lipid differences in Xinjiang Bactrian camel meat, hump, beef and fatty tails. A bibliometric analysis on Lens (lens.org) displays that between 2014 and 2024 (May), a total of 1603 peer-reviewed scholarly works were published on [Metabolomics and meat OR proteomics and meat OR lipidomics and meat] (Figure 1).
