Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The manufacture of traditional meat products is a long-established practice in the Northeast of Portugal, being Alheiras one of the most appreciated products. Alheiras are traditional smoked fermented sausages, mainly produced with pork and poultry meat in a mixture with bread and spices. Currently, game meat Alheiras (Alheiras de caça) are also available in the market being considered as very attractive meat products and prone to adulterations as they command higher prices compared to the common type of Alheiras. To allow accurate information for consumers and avoid unfair competition among producers, it is important to develop efficient methodologies to assess meat species identification and verify the compliance with labelling. For this purpose, several methods based either on proteins or DNA analyses have been suggested during the last decade.
