Abstract(s)
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 as very attractive meat products and prone to adulterations. 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.
