Abstract
Consumer demand for healthy and well-sourced food has been growing in recent times. In particular, demand for fish is constantly increasing due to the awareness of beneficial effects of fishery products on human health. Furthermore, the opening of new markets and the use of a larger number of fish species are strong and timely reminders for the urgent need to guarantee safety, traceability, and authenticity of seafood. Recent European Union directives and regulations for quality control of food products have prompted the development of new methods for large-scale tests to ensure consumer protection. MALDI-TOF MS has provided a significant contribution to food science, proving to be a key tool in the analysis of several food matrices, including fish, especially in studies aimed to assess food quality, safety, and authenticity.
This chapter is focused on an innovative molecular profiling strategy based on MALDI-TOF MS analysis of sarcoplasmic protein extracts from fish muscle, successfully applied to fish authentication. The described method allows to rapidly discriminate different fish species, to verify commercial product authenticity and to detect fraudulent substitutions.
