TL;DR: An overview of the current status and the most recent advances in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) techniques with both high-resolution and low-resolution tandem mass analyzers applied to the identification and detection of heat-stable species-specific peptide markers of meat in highly processed food products.

TL;DR: The presence of biologically active proteins and peptides having antioxidant, antihypertensive or neuroprotective properties, as well as a relatively well-balanced profile of exogenous amino acids with sulphur-containing amino acids, makes oilseed proteins a valuable functional component or an alternative source of protein, especially for bakery and meat industries.

TL;DR: Novel information on unique/species-specific peptide markers that will extend the scope of testing the authenticity of a wide range of foods is provided that may further contribute to the development of targeted methods for the detection and quantification of oilseed proteins in processed foods, and thus to the improvement of food quality.

TL;DR: The results confirm that LC-QTOF-MS/MS is a suitable tool for multi-species detection in processed meat products, particularly for authentication purposes.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that sensitive and reliable LC-MS/MS methods can be developed for the targeted detection and quantification of guinea fowl meat in highly processed meat products.
