Resumo(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 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.
