title: The potential of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry in the quality control of water buffalo mozzarella cheese.
abstract: 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.
