Meat and meat products were undergone to adulteration due to its high price and cause many diseases and economic losses for consumers. Fifty samples of minced meat and sausage (25 each) were collected randomly from supermarkets in Assiut city. The samples were subjected to histological and chemical analysis for detection of adulteration. Histologically, adulteration was detected in minced meat and sausage by addition of smooth muscle fibers of hollow organs, heart muscles, spongy bone, thyroid glands, adipose tissue, lung, blood vessels, intestine, proventriculus, ruminant stomach, tendons, cartilage, fascia, nerve trunk, brain, plant tissues include poppy seeds, color additives, cysts and parts of parasites. By ATPase histochemistry, fetal tissue in minced meat and sausage were suspected to add with abundant dark (slow-contracted) muscle fiber than light (fastcontracting) ones. Adulteration of minced meat and sausage with bone tissues was a statistically significant difference
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
