Polymerase chain reaction assay targeting cytochrome b gene for the detection of dog meat adulteration in meatball formulation
A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the assessment of dog meat adulteration in meatballs was developed. The assay selectively amplified a 100-bp region of canine mitochondrial cytochrome b gene from pure, raw, processed and mixed backgrounds. The specificity of the assay was tested against 1...
