Identifying meat species using RFLP-PCR and the QIAxcel® Advanced system
نویسنده
چکیده
To protect consumers’ interests, it was necessary to develop effective methods to authenticate the species composition of various food products, including meat. The prices for high quality meat are higher, so fraud does occur. Species identification requirements are also connected with the prohibition of sale of meat from certain protected animal species. Furthermore, certain cultures have religious restrictions on the meat composition of food. Finally, allergy sufferers need to know that they are getting meat that is safe for their consumption.

Characterization of 12S rRNA gene for meat identification of common wild and domestic small herbivores as an aid to wildlife forensic
Aim: Chital and sambar are the common wild small herbivores, which are vulnerable to poaching for their meat. Many times poachers claim the wild meat to be that of goat or sheep. Hence, authentic evidences are required to stop such wildlife crime. The present investigation was carried out to study the species specific PCR-RFLP patterns for meat identification of chital and sambar and then diffe...

Background: Identifying the animal species origin in meat and meat products is important for preventing adulteration and protecting consumers in terms of health and religious convictions. Species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is known as a suitable method for identifying meat species. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to use a species-specific PCR assay for the detection of mislabeling in...

BACKGROUND Molecular genotyping of M.tuberculosis is an important laboratory tool in the context of emerging drug resistant TB. The standard 24-loci MIRU-VNTR typing includes PCR amplification followed by the detection and sizing of PCR fragments using capillary electrophoresis on automated sequencers or using agarose gels. The QIAxcel Advanced system might offer a cost-effective medium-through...
متن کاملEstablishment and application of a fluorescent polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method for identifying porcine, caprine, and bovine meats.
A method of fluorescent Polymerase Chain Reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was applied as an analytical and quantitative tool for meat identification. Following alignments of the nucleotide sequences, an oligonucleotide primer pair was designed to amplify the partial sequences within the 12S ribosomal RNA (12S rRNA) gene of mitochondrial DNA from porcine, caprine, and...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Adulterated Meat Products through Molecular Technique: PCR-RFLP
Meat adulterations of different species are undetectable and it is common practice globally. In the field of food analysis, species determination is mostly sufficient, but simultaneous detection of several species in a single food product is desirable. The aim of the study was to distinguish between meats of two different species through PCR-RFLP analysis. The meat of two species were used incl...
