				Abstract 
 
				
				
				Aim: 
				
				Meat adulteration is a serious problem in the meat industry and 
				needs to be tackled to ensure the authenticity of meat products 
				and protect the consumers from being the victims. In view of 
				such likely problem in indigenous meat products of Kashmiri 
				cuisine (Wazwan), 
				the present work was performed to study the detection of beef 
				and buffalo meat in cooked mutton 
				
				Rista 
				
				by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) based multiplex polymerase chain 
				reaction (PCR) method under laboratory conditions. 
				
				
				Materials and Methods: 
				
				Three experimental trials were conducted wherein the products 
				were prepared from pure mutton, beef and buffalo meat, and their 
				admixtures in the ratios of 60:20:20, 80:10:10, 90:05:05 and 
				98:01:01, respectively. 
				
				
				Results: 
				
				The primers used in the study amplified the 
				
				cyt b 
				
				gene fragments of sizes 124 bp, 472 bp and 585 bp for buffalo, 
				cattle and sheep, respectively. It was possible to detect cattle 
				and buffalo meat at the level of 1% in the mixed meat cooked
				
				
				Rista. 
				The multiplex PCR successfully amplified 
				
				cyt b 
				
				gene fragments of mtDNA of the target species and thus produced 
				characteristic band pattern for each species. The band 
				intensities of cattle and buffalo in the mixed meat 
				
				Rista 
				
				progressively decreased corresponding to their decreasing level 
				from 20% to 1%. Processing, cooking (moist heating) and non-meat 
				formulation ingredients had no effect on detection of meat 
				species adulteration. 
				
				
				Conclusion: 
				
				The multiplex PCR procedure standardized and developed in this 
				study is simple, efficient, sensitive, reliable and highly 
				specific for detecting falsification of cooked mutton product 
				with beef and buffalo meat up to 1% level. 
				
				Keywords:
