Abstract
The identification of animal species used in indus trial meat products is very important, from economical considerations, in European Union, which has implemented a set of very strict procedures to correctly label food. In this paper we analyzed conserved region from mitochondrial 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA genes, a powerful region to evaluate the presence of fraudulently added meat in compound food. The multiplex PCR proposed in this study can be considered a valid alternative to the microscopic method for the detection of animal deri ved materials banned by an European Union Regulation. This assay can be used for the identif ication of most species (cattle, poultry, swine and fish) fulfilling the need for a high sensitivity me thod to assess food authentication.
