Abstract

The prevention the using of unauthorized tissues (such as skin, bone, cartilage, soya, etc.) in the production of meat products in recent years has been very much considered. This is done to identify offending production units and increase consumer confidence in meat products. Histological method should be used to control the ingredients of meat products, along with chemical tests. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of histological experiments to reduce the violations of the use of unauthorized tissues in meat products (Sausages, Kielbasa, burgers, Kabab Loghmeh and nuggets). For this purpose, in the period of three years, from the second half of 2014 to the end of the first half of 2017, samples were sent to three laboratories for the detection of unauthorized tissues in the provinces of Tehran, Alborz and Esfahan were evaluated and recorded. The final results of the data recording after the end of the three-year period were evaluated by statistical software and the results were presented in the chart and picture. The results showed a significant decrease in the use of unauthorized tissues during the course of the study. By presenting the results of this research, we can be stated that histological examination as a diagnostic test has been able to play a role in preventing the use of unauthorized tissues in meat products.
