An untargeted peptide profiling based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of flight mass spectrometry with chemometrics was performed to differentiate ultra-high temperature processed milk and reconstituted milk. Thirty-three marker peptides were identified, primarily released from the C- or N-terminal of β-casein and αₛ₁-casein. These peptides were produced by heating and protease hydrolysis. Additional heating and storage time experiments showed that the level of 18 marker peptides increased with heat load and storage time, whereas 15 peptides were solely influenced by heat load. The peptides from β-casein showed higher sensitivity to thermal stress compared to those from αₛ₁-casein. Additionally, eight modified peptides of casein were identified as indicators of milk thermal processing. The identified marker peptides can distinguish ultra-high temperature processed milk and reconstituted milk, and are suitable for monitoring heating processes and storage of milk.
