abstract = "Product authentication is one of the most important food quality assurances. Considering the importance of
consumption of berry fruits with proven health-beneficial properties, high sensory values and rich composition in
bioactive substances, the aim of this study was to evaluate a straightforward and simple procedure for the protein
fingerprinting of berry seeds. For this purpose, protein profiles of 45 samples of genuine berry fruit cultivars
(strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, black currant, blueberry, gooseberry, chokeberry, cape gooseberry, and
gojiberry) were analyzed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis in combination with advanced chemometric tools. The
most important parameters for discrimination among berry seeds were polypeptides at 12.8; 15.1; 25.0; 26.4;
30.0; 41.8; 44.4; 46.0; 48.5; 52.3 and 56.4 kDa. Biomarkers obtained from the protein profile of berry seeds
proved to be a powerful tool in the authentication of their botanical origin, as well as for potential detection of
berry-based products adulteration",
