Other breeds present in the same region that could deliver meat which could wrongly be declared to be Aberdeen Angus (A A) meat. The DNA was extracted and analyzed with about 120 markers. The allele frequencies of these 120 markers from the AA samples and non-A A samples were compared. Markers were identified that show typical alleles of the AA samples and other alleles of the non-AA samples. With these markers, blind tests were performed with meat samples of known origin. All of these samples were typed correctly. 

Similar analyses can also be made on other rice varieties, such as Jasmine rice. Authentic samples of typical Jasmine rice and of other rice varieties that can be used to minic Jasmine rice have to be collected and analyzed with a broad range of markers. The next step is performed similar to that described earlier for the establishment of a breed-specific analysis for Aberdeen Angus cattle.
