Identification of the goose species ( Anser anser) in Italian “Mortara” salami by DNA sequencing and a Polymerase Chain Reaction with an original primer pair

“Mortara” goose salami is a typical product of the Lomellina zone (Italy) and is home-made in accordance with old traditions. A Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was set up using Italian goose breeds meat and the earlier mentioned product. A zone of the cytochrome b of mitochondrial DNA of goose was s...

Description
Summary:“Mortara” goose salami is a typical product of the Lomellina zone (Italy) and is home-made in accordance with old traditions. A Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was set up using Italian goose breeds meat and the earlier mentioned product. A zone of the cytochrome b of mitochondrial DNA of goose was sequenced and a specific primer pair was successfully designed to identify the species Anser anser in salami.
