Determination of animal species in the meat and meat products is one of the interest of food science, it is also important for consumer rights and food safety. Increasing world population has also remarkably impacted the demand for meat and meat products. Based on this fact, issues related to safety and quality in the meat products have brought up in that manner as well. Through DNA based molecular methods are improved in food analysis, it is preferred increasingly in the control of food safety. In this study, a total of 73 samples of the meat and meat products sold in stores, meat selling markets and public bazaars located in different districts of İstanbul province were analyzed for the detection of animal species notified on the label by using Chipron LCD Array Analysis System. The results showed that 39 samples (53.4%) were labelled incorrectly. Randomly selected eleven samples were corrected by Iontek Fluorion Meat Species Identification Kit and FDS Detection System (Real Time PCR). Hence, it was found that the results obtained by DNA Microarray and Real Time PCR methods were identical (100%) with each other, and both methods should extensively be promoted for the detection of animal species in the meat and meat products.
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.
