Abstract
Abstract A starch-gel electrophoretic method for the separation of esterases in homogenates of animal tissues was adapted to the histochemical identification of animal species. The method was applied to skeletal muscles of various fish species and warmblooded meat animals. Significant differences were observed in the numbers and locations of esterase bands; these differences permit the identification of the animal species. The esterase method can be successfully used in conjunction with the regular electrophoretic protein identification test for law enforcement purposes.
