Heat-Treated Meat Origin Tracing and Authenticity through a Practical Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction Approach. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14224727. [PMID: 36432413 PMCID: PMC9693382 DOI: 10.3390/nu14224727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Revised: 10/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Meat adulteration have become a global issue, which has increasingly raised concerns due to not only economic losses and religious issues, but also public safety and its negative effects on human health. Using optimal primers for seven target species, a multiplex PCR method was developed for the molecular authentication of camel, cattle, dog, pig, chicken, sheep and duck in one tube reaction. Species-specific amplification from the premixed total DNA of seven species was corroborated by DNA sequencing. The limit of detection (LOD) is as low as 0.025 ng DNA for the simultaneous identification of seven species in both raw and heat-processed meat or target meat: as little as 0.1% (w/w) of the total meat weight. This method is strongly reproducible even while exposed to intensively heat-processed meat and meat mixtures, which renders it able to trace meat origins in real-world foodstuffs based on the authenticity assessment of commercial meat samples. Therefore, this method is a powerful tool for the inspection of meat adulterants and has broad application prospects.

Abstract
Identification of meat authenticity is a matter of increasing concerns due to religious, economical, legal, and public health reasons. However, little is known about the inspection of eight meat species in one tube reaction due to technological challenge of multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. Here, a developed multiplex PCR method can simultaneously authenticate eight meat species including ostrich (753 bp), cat (564 bp), goose (391 bp), duck (347 bp), chicken (268 bp), horse (227 bp), dog (190 bp), and sheep (131 bp). The detectable deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contents for each target species was as low as 0.01 ng in both raw and heat-treated meat or target meat down to 0.1% (w/w) of total meat weight reflecting high stability of the assay in heat processing condition, indicating that this method is adequate for tracing meat origin in real-world meat products, which has been further validated by authenticity assays of commercial meat products. Overall, this method is a powerful tool for accurate evaluation of meat origin with a good application foreground.

Abstract
Frequent meat frauds have become a global issue because adulteration risks the food safety, breaches market rules, and even threatens public health. Multiplex PCR is considered to be a simple, fast, and inexpensive technique that can be applied for the identification of meat products in food industries. However, relatively less is known about a multiplex PCR method authenticating seven animal species simultaneously in one reaction due to technological challenge. Through screening new species-specific primers and optimizing PCR system, a heptaplex PCR method was established, which could simultaneously detect seven meat ingredients of camel (128 bp), pigeon (157 bp), chicken (220 bp), duck (272 bp), horse (314 bp), beef (434 bp), and pork (502 bp) in a single-tube reaction. DNA sequencing solidly validated that each set of primers specifically amplified target species from total DNA mixtures of seven meat species. The developed multiplex assay was stable and sensitive enough to detect 0.01–0.025 ng DNA from various meat treatments including raw, boiled, and autoclaved meat samples or target meat content of 0.1% total meat weight, suggesting the suitability of the heptaplex PCR technique for tracing target meats with high accuracy and precision. Most importantly, a market survey validated the availability of this multiplex PCR technique in real-world meat products with a good application foreground.

Abstract
Frequent meat frauds have aroused significant social attention. The aim of this study is to construct a two-tube hexaplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method offering accurate molecular authentication of twelve meat species in actual adulteration event. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing demonstrates that designed primers can specifically amplify target species from genomic DNA mixture of six species in each tube reaction, which showed 100% accuracy of horse (148 bp), pigeon (218 bp), camel (283 bp), rabbit (370 bp), ostrich (536 bp), and beef (610 bp) as well as turkey (124 bp), dog (149 bp), chicken (196 bp), duck (277 bp), cat (380 bp), and goose (468 bp). A species-specific primer pair produced the target band in the presence of target genomic DNA but not non-target species. Through multiplex PCR assays with serial concentration of the DNA mixture of six species in each PCR reaction, the detection limit (LOD) of the two-tube hexaplex PCR assay reached up to 0.05–0.1 ng. Using genomic DNA isolated from both boiled and microwave-cooked meat as templates, PCR amplification generated expected PCR products. These findings demonstrate that the proposed method is specific, sensitive and reproducible, and is adequate for food inspection. Most importantly, this method was successfully applied to detect meat frauds in commercial meat products. Therefore, this method is of great importance with a good application foreground.

Abstract
Identification of meat species origin using reliable techniques is a critical requirement for ensuring label compliance, protection of consumer preference and prevention of fraudulence in the meat trade. Although a plethora of protein and DNA based meat species identification techniques are in vogue, need for rapid test suitable for under-resourced laboratories catering point-of-care (PoC) services was construed. Present study deals with development of rapid sheep (Ovis aries) meat identification technique using DNA extraction by alkaline lysis (AL) and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique. The AL-LAMP specifically amplifies sheep-specific signal of mitochondrial D loop region under an isothermal temperature of 60 °C with an analytical sensitivity of 0.5 ng sheep DNA. The test was highly specific to sheep and performed well even in the presence of DNA of closely related meat animal species such as goat, cattle, buffalo and chicken. The novel primers designed for the AL-LAMP successfully detected sheep meat in raw and cooked meat samples heated up to 121 °C for 30 min. Sheep-specific AL-LAMP assay could detect 0.1% mutton-in-beef adulteration. Novel AL-LAMP assay being simple, rapid and reliable for sheep meat authentication in just 120 min; hence, it could be conveniently used by terminal laboratories engaged in rendering on-site or PoC services.

Abstract
To guarantee food safetyand sustainability, it is necessary to verify meat authenticity. This study focused on the development of single nucleotide polymorphism-based polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (SNP-based PCR-RFLP) and forensically informative nucleotide sequence (FINS) methodologies based on PCR amplification of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene for discrimination of six red meat species, that is, cattle, buffalo, goat, sheep, camel, and donkey. FINS allowed the unambiguous identification of all species analyzed. In addition, six SNPs, where a restriction site for TasI could be localized using a preliminary in silico analysis, gave a unique RFLP pattern for each species. The results revealed a low level of species substitution (8%) in the tested meat samples. In particular, one buffalo and goat samples have been substituted with cow and sheep, respectively. Finally, the developed techniques herein showed high potentials to be routinely used as reliable and fast tools to avoid meat species substitutions. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This research deals with genetic techniques to trace meats. This kind of research helps the concerned agencies to build capacity to safeguard consumer sentiments as well as providing better market access and better food price and quality for the consumer.

Abstract
Multiplex PCR methods have been frequently used for authentication of meat product adulteration. Through screening of new species-specific primers designed based on the mitochondrial DNA sequences, a septuple PCR method is ultimately developed and optimized to simultaneously detect seven species including turkey (110 bp), goose (194 bp), pig (254 bp), sheep (329 bp), beef (473 bp), chicken (612 bp) and duck (718 bp) in one reaction. The proposed method has been validated to be specific, sensitive, robust and inexpensive. Taken together, the developed septuple PCR assay is reliable and efficient, not only to authenticate animal species in commercial meat products, but also easily feasible in a general laboratory without special infrastructures.
