Identification of Different Meat Varieties and Determination of Meat Adulteration Using Polymerase Chain Reaction Based Method
Meat is a food rich with a variety of important nutrients which lacks in plant food sources, particularly lysine, bio-available iron and zinc and etc. Nowadays, it has a significant problem regarding its quality due to fraudulent substitution of more expensive meats with cheaper meats. Therefore, th...

Meat is a food rich with a variety of important nutrients which lacks in plant food sources, particularly lysine, bio-available iron and zinc and etc. Nowadays, it has a significant problem regarding its quality due to fraudulent substitution of more expensive meats with cheaper meats. Therefore, the identification of species origin of meat is a considerably difficult task. The aim of this study was to establish a qualitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based method to detect dog (Canis lupus familiaris) meat adulteration in mutton and horse (Equus ferus caballus) meat adulteration in beef The mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cyt b) gene was used as the target gene to amplify 809 bp, 157 bp, 251 bp, 335 by and 365 by regions of dog, goat (Capra aegagrus hircus), cattle (Bos taurus) and horse Cyt b genes respectively.
