Abstract
The current study aimed to examine a real-time PCR assay with high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis for the species identification of minced meat samples. Meat samples from several animal species were purchased and minced separately or as a mixture of two species. DNA was extracted from all meat samples and subjected to real-time PCR assay by amplifying species-specific mitochondrial cytochrome b regions. Regarding the meat mixtures, two separate melting curves with specific melt peak temperatures (Tm) were detected. Additionally, DNA from each species was quantified, based on the calibration curves. The results showed that a real-time PCR assay with HRM analysis is suitable for the species identification of meat products, and could be used for the detection of meat frauds.
