Distinguishing Horseflesh From Beef by Fat Tests
An English food inspector Mr Janes Bull finds external appearance can not reliably distinguish horseflesh from beef. Fat from horse meat solidifies at 70 degs with a specific gravity near 208.7 at 100 degs while beef fat melts at 110 to 120 degs and is lighter.
