Abstract:
The existing European Regulation (EC n 51/2013) prohibits the use of animals meals in feedstuffs in
order to prevent Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy infection and diffusion, however the legislation is
rapidly moving towards a partial lifting of the ‘‘feed ban” and the competent control organisms are urged
to develop suitable analytical methods able to avoid food safety incidents related to animal origin products.
The limitations of the official methods (i.e. light microscopy and Polymerase Chain Reaction) suggest
exploring new analytic ways to get reliable results in a short time. The combination of spectroscopic techniques
with optical microscopy allows the development of an individual particle method able to meet
both selectivity and sensitivity requirements (0.1% w/w). A spectroscopic method based on Fourier
Transform micro-Raman spectroscopy coupled with Discriminant Analysis is here presented. This
approach could be very useful for in-situ applications, such as customs inspections, since it drastically
reduces time and costs of analysis
