The potential of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry in the quality control of water buffalo mozzarella cheese.
Adulteration by addition of bovine milk to water buffalo milk employed for mozzarella cheese production is often observed. Water buffalo milk and mozzarella cheese were analysed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry in order to achieve their rapid and accurate characterization and to evaluate possible fraudulence in mozzarella cheese production.
