Abstract
Milk is one of the most important nutritious foods, widely consumed worldwide, either in its natural form or via dairy products. Currently, several economic, health and ethical issues emphasize the need for a more frequent and rigorous quality control of dairy products and the importance of detecting adulterations in these products. For this reason, several conventional and advanced techniques have been proposed, aiming at detecting and quantifying eventual adulterations, preferentially in a rapid, cost-effective, easy to implement, sensitive and specific way. They have relied mostly on electrophoretic, chromatographic and immunoenzymatic techniques. More recently, mass spectrometry, spectroscopic methods (near infrared (NIR), mid infrared (MIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and front face fluorescence coupled to chemometrics), DNA analysis (real-time PCR, high-resolution melting analysis, next generation sequencing and droplet digital PCR) and biosensors have been advanced as innovative tools for dairy product authentication. Milk substitution from high-valued species with lower-cost bovine milk is one of the most frequent adulteration practices. Therefore, this review intends to describe the most relevant developments regarding the current and advanced analytical methodologies applied to species authentication of milk and dairy products.

Abstract
In the origins of life field understanding the abiotic polymerization of simple organic monomers (e.g., amino acids) into larger biomolecules (e.g., oligopeptides), remains a seminal challenge. Recently, preliminary observations showed a limited set of peptides formed in the presence of the plausible prebiotic phosphorylating agent, diamidophosphate (DAP), highlighting the need for an analytical tool to critically evaluate the ability of DAP to induce oligomerization of simple organics under aqueous conditions. However, performing accurate and precise, targeted analyses of short oligopeptides remains a distinct challenge in the analytical chemistry field. Here, we developed a new technique to detect and quantitate amino acids and their homopeptides in a single run using ultraperformance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection/time of flight mass spectrometry. Over an 8-minute retention time window, 18 target analytes were identified and quantitated, 16 of which were chromatographically separated at, or near baseline resolution. Compound identity was confirmed by accurate mass analysis using a 10 ppm mass tolerance window. This method featured limits of detection < 5 nM (< 1 fmol on column) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) <15 nM (< 3 fmol on column). The LODs and LOQs were upwards of ∼28x and ∼788x lower, respectively, than previous methods for the same analytes, highlighting the quantifiable advantages of this new method. Both detectors provided good quantitative linearity (R2 > 0.985) for all analytes spanning concentration ranges ∼3 - 4 orders of magnitude. We performed a series of laboratory experiments to investigate DAP-mediated oligomerization of amino acids and peptides and analyzed experimental products with the new method. DAP readily polymerized amino acids and peptides under a range of simulated environmental conditions. This research underscores the potential of DAP to have generated oligopeptides on the primordial Earth, enhancing prebiotic chemical diversity and complexity at or near the origin of life.

Abstract
Enzymatic improvers are enzymes obtained from microbial or fungal cultures, added as technical adjuvants to flour, with the aim of improving the dough characteristics in bakery products. They are used in a low ppm range and, being technical adjuvants, can go undeclared on the label. Many types of enzymatic improvers are present on the market, such as amylases, lipases, proteases, xylanases, glucose oxidases, and others, each with a different function. Analytical methods capable of detecting these enzymes are needed, particularly for bakery companies, in order to monitor the quality of raw materials and to detect any undeclared presence. In the present work, specific peptide markers, obtained by enzymatic digestion, have been used to detect the presence of enzymatic improvers by LC-MS/MS techniques. Promising results were obtained for some enzymes acting on the carbohydrate fraction (glucoamylase, glucose oxidase, xylanase) in which amounts as low as 20 ppm could be identified in blind flour samples. For lipases and proteases the method proved to be very effective in terms of specific identification, even if less sensitive.

Abstract
The practice of adding adulterating substances in milk in order to raise profits is unfortunately worldwide. In addition, higher priced milk, coming from minor dairy species, is often illegally integrated with the lower priced cow milk. The presence of species-specific proteins, different from those declared in label, may be a serious problem for people with allergies. The development of proper analytical methods is therefore essential to protect consumer benefits and product authenticity. In this study, a proteomic approach for the detection of adulteration processes of specific milks in mixtures is proposed. Few microliters of milk samples have been digested with trypsin and chymotrypsin and analyzed by nanoLC-ESI-IT-MS/MS. A post-database processing was performed to obtain confident peptide sequence assignments, allowing the detection of milk adulteration at a level lower than 1%. Species-specific peptides from bovine β-lactoglobulin and αS1 casein were identified as suitable peptide markers of milk authenticity.

Abstract
The growing interest of consumers in food quality and safety issues has contributed to the increasing demand for sensitive and rapid analytical technologies. Physicochemical, textural, sensory, etc., methods have been used to evaluate the quality and authenticity of milk and dairy products. Despite the importance of these standard methods, they are expensive and time consuming. Recently, spectroscopic methods have shown great potential due to speed of analysis, minimal sample preparation, high repeatability, low cost, and, most of all, the fact that these techniques are noninvasive and nondestructive and, therefore, could be applied to any on-line monitoring system. This chapter gave examples of the application of the most commonly traditional methods for the determination of the quality of milk and dairy products. A special focus is devoted to the use of infrared and fluorescence spectroscopies for the evaluation of the quality of dairy products.

Abstract
Water buffalo (WB) casein (CN) and curd samples from indigenous Italian and international breeds were examined with the objective of identifying signature peptides that could function as an indicator to determine the origin of their milk products. CN in complex mixtures were digested with trypsin, and peptide fragments were subsequently identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The unique presence of a β-CN A variant and an internally deleted αs1-CN (f35-42) variant in international WB milk samples was ascertained by identifying signature tryptic peptides from either dephosphorylated or native CN. Four signature unphosphorylated peptides derived from β-CN A, i.e. (f49-68) Asn(68) (2223.6 Da), (f1-28) Ser(10) (3169.4 Da), (f1-29) Ser(10) (3297.4 Da) and (f33-48) Thr(41) (1982 Da) and two from αs1-CN (f35-42) deleted fragments, i.e. (f23-34) Met(31) (1415.7 Da) and (f43-58) Val(44) (1752.7 Da), were identified. Two signature casein phosphopeptides (CPPs), i.e. β-CN (f1-28) 4P (3489.1 Da) and β-CN (f33-48) 1P (2062.0 Da), were identified in the tryptic hydrolysate of native casein or curd and cheese samples using in-batch hydroxyapatite (HA) chromatography. All these fragments functioned as analytical surrogates of two αs1- and β-casein variants that specifically occur in the milk of international WB breeds. Furthermore, the bovine peptide β-CN (f1-28) 4P had a distinct and lower molecular mass compared with the WB counterpart and functioned as a species-specific marker for all breeds of WB. Advantages of this analytical approach are that (i) peptides are easier to separate than proteins, (ii) signature peptide probes originating from specific casein variants allow for the targeting of all international WB milk, curd and cheese samples and (iii) bovine and WB casein in mixtures can be simultaneously determined in protected designation of origin (PDO) "Mozzarella di Bufala Campana" cheese. This analytical method enabled the specific detection of international WB and bovine casein with a sensitivity threshold of 2 and 0.78 %, respectively. Graphical Abstract Monitoring of prototypic tryptic CPPs by MALDI-TOF analysis in Mediterranean (A), Romanian (B), Indian (C), Polish (D) and Canadian (E) curd samples to guarantee the authenticity of the PDO "Mozzarella di Bufala Campana" cheese.

Abstract
In the present paper, a proteomic method for species determination in fibres has been developed. Keratin was extracted from yak, wool and cashmere fibres and digested by trypsin, providing peptide mixtures that were analyzed by liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) in order to identify peptidic species-specific markers able to differentiate the fibres. Several suitable peptide markers were identified and validated in different fibres of different origin and having undergone different technological treatments, showing 100% specificity and 100% selectivity. Most of the peptide markers were also identified by means of high-resolution mass spectrometry, confirming the origin from species-specific keratin sequences. Some peptides were also used for the quantification of the different species in mixed fibres by LC/ESI-MS. Validation experiments and blind tests confirmed their ability to act as very specific quantitative and qualitative markers. The method here developed is a valid complement to the standard benchmark methods for fibre identification and quantification and will be very useful for assessing the authenticity of textile products.

Abstract
A common fraud in the dairy field is the addition of sheep's milk to goat's cheeses, because it has a very similar taste to goat's milk, but is more available, and is commonly considered to have a better capacity to curdle. For similar reasons, and due to economic convenience, sheep's cheeses may also contain fraudulent cow's milk. In order to detect this fraud, an EU official method may be used, but it is only a qualitative method (presence/absence of cow's milk). A method able to quantify the presence of sheep's milk during cheese production in goat's and cow's cheeses was developed. The method is based on liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) analysis of peptides of a casein extract from the cheese. By a simple procedure, caseins are extracted from cheeses, solubilized, digested with plasmin, and subsequently analyzed by LC/ESI-MS/MS. A typical sheep's peptide produced by plasmin hydrolysis (m/z = 860) was accurately selected and analyzed to understand if, and by how much, a declared pure goat's cheese contains sheep's milk. By analyzing the same peptide it is also possible to detect if, and by how much, a declared pure sheep's milk contains, or not, cow's milk. The method was applied to several goat's and cow's cheese samples. Quantitation was performed with a calibration curve obtained by analyzing curd cheeses containing different percentages of sheep's milk. The method detection limit and method quantitation limit were evaluated. This method appears accurate and suitable for detecting up to 2% of sheep's milk in cheeses.
