The project KrustInUVa aimed to develop different DNA- and protein-based methods for species authentication of crustaceans. A comprehensive collection of crustacean species forms the basis for these research activities. Their valid DNA sequences will be published in public databases. To enable a rapid species identification and high throughput of samples, a multiplex real-time PCR for market-relevant crustacean species and a MALDI-TOF method, extended by a database of crustacean mass spectra, have been established. Two meta-barcoding methods have been successfully used for the examination of crustacean mixtures. LC-MS/MS technologies are common in analytical laboratories and can now be used for species authentication of selected crustaceans with the identified species-specific peptides. For consumer health protection reason, an LC-MS method for the detection of allergen-specific peptides in crustaceans has also been developed.
