hich represents more accurate approach to meat speciation, detects the protein markers unique to specific meat species and confirms the presence of a particular species in a sample by direct detection.
The mass spectrometry-based method also allows laboratories to detect veterinary drug residues such as Phenylbutazone, in the same analysis.
Although, the method was developed to detect horse DNA contamination in beef samples, it can also be used to detect peptide markers of various animal types
