At first, the project follows the strategy to complete data of DNA-sequences in public databases by collecting and generating sequences authenticated reference material of a diversity of crustaceans. In the second step, fast and reliable DNA- as well as protein-based methods like qPCR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry will be developed. Furthermore, a next generation sequencing method will be established in order to identify individual shrimp species in samples with mixed species contents. To complete the methodology modular system a LC-MS/MS approach is planned to investigate species authenticity of crustaceans by peptide analysis that also enables to examine marker peptides of potentially allergenic proteins. Altogether, these innovative species authentication methods will help to guarantee safe, high-quality and sustainably produced crustacean products for the consumers.
