Current methods include Fourier-transform Infrared (FT-IR) microscopy, Raman microscopy or thermo-analytical methods and attempts to compare data-sets from these methods have largely failed. Only little quality data based on validated methods and appropriate quality standards is available. Thus, reports of presence and numbers of MP still vary significantly from each other without a reliable indicator which of the reported data fulfils data acceptable quality requirements. A methodology for the determination of MP via FT-IR microscopy is introduced and critically discussed regarding mandatory validation parameters and applicability. Furthermore, advantages and challenges of this method are put into relation to other spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. © 2020 The Authors.Acid-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (A-PAGE) is used to phenotype different varieties of wheat based on their gliadin profiles. The family of gliadin proteins is a major component of wheat gluten. Gluten is the major determinant of the unique viscoelastic property of wheat dough that is necessary in the production of important food products including bread, cake, cookies and pasta. However, several gliadin proteins are also known to be causal agents in triggering human immunogenic responses that lead to several gluten-related health risks like celiac disease and wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. Therefore, research to identify wheat lines with reduced levels of immunogenic proteins is being vigorously pursued in several laboratories around the world. Unfortunately, no commercial A-PAGE gels are currently available for cereal researchers to use for separating wheat gliadins. This work reports the developm
