- Abstract:
- To apply isotopic and elemental analyses, in combination with statistical processing, to distinguish the origin of beef meat from cattle reared in England, Scotland and Wales. In this respect, the findings in this report demonstrate that it is possible with a high degree of certainty to determine the origin of British beef. Standard operating procedures have been produced for the evaluation of authentic British beef for hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and strontium isotope ratio measurements, and multivariate analysis of authentic British beef elemental and stable isotope data
