Abstract
Many meat products are composed of two or more meat species. To determine the proportion of these meat fractions, a quantitative multiplex PCR was developed for the quantification of beef, pork, chicken and turkey. This system proved its applicability, precision and accuracy in examining different meat products from the market. Thus it allows the efficient control of composed meat products in official food control and production control laboratories.

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied to identify six meats (cattle, pig, chicken, sheep, goat and horse) as raw materials for products by mixing seven primers in appropriate ratios, and species-specific DNA fragments could be identified by only one multiplex PCR.

Six TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction systems using minor groove binding probes have been developed for the detection quantitation of bovine, porcine, lamb, chicken, turkey, and ostrich DNA in complex samples, and species-specific amplification was achieved by combining only two fluorogenic probes and 10 oligonucleotide primers targeting mitochondrial sequences, decreasing the cost of the assay significantly.

The quantification of beef in mixed samples is described to illustrate the principle of this approach, which allows measurement at an early stage in the PCR process which is inherently more accurate than the end point analysis associated with gel-based systems.
