The capability of PCR-TTGE to detect meat species in mixed animal samples was investigated as a necessary step in developing a method where the identification will be performed matching on the "DNA barcode" zone the sequences of resolved PCR products obtained from a limited set of "universal" primers. Exemplary mixtures from five important meat species were analyzed. At this stage more PCR reactions have to be applied on a sample but this should be easily improved using primers simultaneously (as a "cocktail") in a single reaction.

Abstract

The capability of PCR-TTGE to detect meat species in mixed animal samples was investigated as a necessary step in developing a method where the identification will be performed matching on the "DNA barcode" zone the sequences of resolved PCR products obtained from a limited set of "universal" primers. Exemplary mixtures from five important meat species were analyzed. At this stage more PCR reactions have to be applied on a sample but this should be easily improved using primers simultaneously (as a "cocktail") in a single reaction.
