Minced meat is a vulnerable to adulteration food commodity because species- and/or tissue-specific morphological characteristics cannot be easily identified.Hence, the economically motivated adulteration of minced meat is rather likely to be practiced.The objective of this work was to assess the potential of spectroscopy-based sensors in detecting

Snakebite incidence at least partly depends on the biology of the snakes involved.However, studies of snake biology have been largely neglected in favour of anthropic factors, with the exception of taxonomy, which has been recognised for some decades to affect the design of antivenoms.Despite this, within-species venom variation and the unpredictab
