• CompareMS2 2.0: An Improved Software for Comparing Tandem Mass Spectrometry Datasets 

      Marissen, Rob; Varunjikar, Madhushri Shrikant; Laros, Jeroen F. J.; Rasinger, Josef; Neely, Benjamin A.; Palmblad, Magnus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      It has long been known that biological species can be identified from mass spectrometry data alone. Ten years ago, we described a method and software tool, compareMS2, for calculating a distance between sets of tandem mass ...
    • Comparing novel shotgun DNA sequencing and state-of-the-art proteomics approaches for authentication of fish species in mixed samples 

      Varunjikar, Madhushri S.; Moreno-Ibarguen, Carlos; Andrade-Martinez, Juan S.; Tung, Hui-Shan; Belghit, Ikram; Palmblad, Magnus; Olsvik, Pål Asgeir; Reyes, Alejandro; Rasinger, Josef; Lie, Kai Kristoffer (Others, 2021)
      Replacement of high-value fish species with cheaper varieties or mislabelling of food unfit for human consumption is a global problem violating both consumers’ rights and safety. For distinguishing fish species in pure ...
    • Future feed control – Tracing banned bovine material in insect meal 

      Belghit, Ikram; Varunjikar, Madhushri Shrikant; Lecrenier, Marie-Caroline; Steinhilber, A.; Niedzwiecka, A.; Wang, Y.V.; Dieu, Marc; Azzollini, D.; Lie, Kai Kristoffer; Lock, Erik Jan Robert; Berntssen, Marc HG; Renard, Patricia; Zagon, Jutta; Fumière, Olivier; van Loon, Loon; Larsen, Thomas; Poetz, O.; Braeuning, Albert; Palmblad, Magnus; Rasinger, Josef (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In the present study, we assessed if different legacy and novel molecular analyses approaches can detect and trace prohibited bovine material in insects reared to produce processed animal protein (PAP). Newly hatched black ...
    • Shotgun proteomics approaches for authentication, biological analyses, and allergen detection in feed and food-grade insect species 

      Varunjikar, Madhushri Shrikant; Belghit, Ikram; Gjerde, Jennifer; Palmblad, Magnus; Oveland, Eystein; Rasinger, Josef (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Untargeted proteomics can contribute to composition and authenticity analyses of highly processed mixed food and feed products. Here, we present the setup of an analytical flow tandem mass spectrometry method (AF-HPLC ...
    • Species-specific discrimination of insect meals for aquafeeds by direct comparison of tandem mass spectra 

      Belghit, Ikram; Lock, Erik-Jan; Fumière, Olivier; Lecrenier, Marie-Caroline; Renard, Patricia; Dieu, Marc; Berntssen, Marc; Palmblad, Magnus; Rasinger, Josef Daniel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Insect protein has the potential to become a sustainable feed ingredient for the rapidly growing aquaculture industry. In the European Union, insect derived protein is placed under the same legislation as processed animal ...
