In this review, papers published in the chemometrics field were selected in order to gather information and conduct a systematic review regarding food science and technology; more precisely, regarding the domain of bioactive compounds and the functional properties of foods. More than 50 papers covering different food samples, experimental techniques and chemometric techniques were selected and presented, focusing on the chemometric methods used and their outcomes. This study is one way to approach an overview of the current publications related to this subject matter. The application of the multivariate chemometrics approach to the study of bioactive compounds and the functional properties of foods can open up even more in coming years, since it is fast-growing and highly competitive research area.
