Summary: | The ability to extract, amplify, identify and quantify fruit DNA from commercially available jams and yogurts was investigated. Efficient methods for extracting DNA from jams and yogurts were developed based on a modified CTAB protocol. DNA sequence alignment of plant chloroplast
rbcL sequences allowed the development of a 104 bp PCR reaction capable of characterising plant genera present in fruit products using DNA amplification and direct sequencing to reveal single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The
rbcL single nucleotide polymorphism approach was made quantitative by combining PCR analysis with Pyrosequencing
® technology. This enabled the detection of rhubarb yogurt in raspberry yogurt with a detection limit of 2% w/w based on the use of commercially available samples. The method represents a new quantitative approach for determining the identity of plant genera in products. |
