Horse (Equine) DNA PCR
In recent years, the adulteration of meat products has become a significant problem in the food industry around the world. In general, the substitution of meat of a different species may not pose harm to the health of consumers. However, meat products consisting of undeclared species such as pig and horse are not desirable in some regions as meats of the aforementioned species are considered taboo either at the cultural or religious level. One of the most publicized recent cases of meat adulteration is the 2013 horse meat adulteration scandal in Europe, where many food products advertised to be beef contained a significant amount of undeclared horse meat. The primary analytical methods utilized to detect meat adulteration are antibody-based detection or nucleic acid-based detection. The use of DNA-based detection has advantages over other methods as DNA can remain stable at high temperatures such that it could be detected from raw or frozen products as well as processed food products.
