Metabolomics on banked serum samples of military populations have been used to evaluate the impacts of military deployment operations (Walker et al. 2016). Furthermore, traffic-related air pollution from two sites with different geographic profiles (diesel or mixed urban) were followed using personal exposure monitors, and specific pollutants were found to be associated with metabolic products. Notably, NO2 was associated with the acyl-carnitine pathway and was implicated in cardio-respiratory disease (van Veldhoven et al. 2019). In an analogous study, Liang et al. (2019) identified pollutants associated with inflammatory and redox pathways; the arginine levels in asthmatics decreased upon exposure to vanadium in contrast to individuals without asthma that showed the opposite response illustrating the individualized nature of inflammatory and oxidative stress response to common pollutants. Lead exposure in military populations was shown to be associated with high blood pressure and oxidative stress (Obeng-Gyasi and Obeng-Gyasi 2018). Rappaport et al. (2014) analyzed blood concentrations of 1,561 small molecules distributed over 100 chemical classes ranging from fM to mM of which 361 had at least one disease association. In a recent review, Rappaport (2018) highlighted small molecules in the metabolome associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. In addition, numerous dietary compounds are activated through bacterial or cellular metabolism to highly reactive forms which increase disease risk. The International Agency for Research on Cancer working group estimates that colon cancer risk increases 18% for every 50 grams of processed meat or 100 grams of red meat consumed relative to those who consumed the least amount of meat; Turesky (2018) reviewed the mechanistic routes through which reactive metabolites contribute to this.

Meat and meat products are food products with high nutritional value, due to their high content in protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. However, an excessive caloric intake and unbalanced amino acid and fatty acid composition, as well as processed meat product consumption can lead to the development of several diseases, such as obesity, atherosclerosis, diabetes, etc.[1,2] The food industry could design new meat-based food products in order to improve its quality by using food supplements and additives and also to reduce food waste through the use of meat industry by-products.[3,4] Oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions are dispersions of oil droplets in water. They are widely used in the food industry, including the meat industry, for improving the rheological and sensory properties and to increase the nutritional value of meat products.[5–7] For the production of protein-rich O/W emulsions, proteins from animal origin (pork skin, meat by-products, milk protein) or plant origin (soybean, pea, chickpea, etc.) are often used. The lipid fraction can be animal fat (pork fat, slaughter fat, as beef, horse, and lamb fat) or plant oil (sunflower, rapeseed, olive, and other oils).[8] Adding vegetable oil to the emulsion delivers improved nutritional properties compared to animal oil and increased vitamin A and D and polyunsaturated fatty acids content.[9,10]
