Area of Science:

  • Food Science
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Accurate meat authentication is crucial for ensuring food safety and preventing economic fraud.
  • Existing methods for meat species identification can be time-consuming, expensive, or require specialized equipment.
  • There is a need for rapid, specific, and cost-effective tools for detecting multiple meat species and adulteration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel two-step assay for the rapid identification of 11 common meat species.
  • To assess the assay's specificity, sensitivity, and ability to detect adulteration in meat mixtures.
  • To provide a cost-effective and efficient platform for meat authentication.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a two-step approach combining universal primer-based Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) with species-specific CRISPR/Cas12a detection.
  • Employed a single universal primer pair for broad DNA amplification, followed by parallel single-target CRISPR reactions using specific crRNAs.
  • Integrated dual fluorescence and lateral flow strip detection formats for versatile readout.

Main Results:

  • The assay successfully identified 11 common meat species with high specificity and no cross-reactivity.
  • Detection limits ranged from 10^0 to 10^4 copies/μL, demonstrating high sensitivity.
  • The fluorescence assay detected adulteration down to 0.05% (w/w), while the lateral flow format detected down to 0.05-5% (w/w), depending on the species.
  • The assay was validated using commercially processed meat products.

Conclusions:

  • This laboratory-validated strategy offers a rapid (approx. 40 min), cost-effective (∼$4 per test), and specific method for identifying multiple meat species.
  • The simplified primer design and parallel detection capabilities make it a promising platform for qualitative meat screening.
  • Further validation is needed to confirm its robustness for field applications.
