Identification of Mammalian and Poultry Species in Food and Pet Food Samples Using 16S rDNA Metabarcoding
The substitution of more appreciated animal species by here animal species of lower commercial value is a common type of meat product adulteration.DNA metabarcoding, the combination of DNA barcoding with next-generation sequencing (NGS), plays an increasing role in food authentication.In the present study, we investigated the applicability of a DNA
