Food Authenticity
Authenticity testing of food samples has become one of the hot topics in QC labs, and sample numbers are steadily increasing, because false labelling of ingredients and/or origin is of concern for public health, taxation and religious conduct. Hence, reliable monitoring of the supply chain is crucial for both, producer and consumer. Here, Analytik Jena offers products and solutions that meet the analytical needs of laboratories upholding the highest standards.
Automated DNA Extraction and Species Analysis From Cheese
People are more and more aware of the fact that nutrition has a significant impact on the overall quality of life. Additionally, food scandals of the recent past even sharpened this awareness. For those reasons, customers expect stringent and reliable controls of the ingredients used for food production.
Precise and Robust Determination of Porcine DNA in Food Samples
To assure a high level of food and nutrition quality as well as authentication of unintended ingredients such as pork, accurate and highly sensitive animal species identification and the detection of substitutes are two of the main challenges in food industry. The innuDETECT Pork Assay enables reliable detection of porcine DNA in fresh and processed food.
Automated Extraction of DNA from Various Food Samples
This application note describes a method for the extraction of high quality DNA that can readily be used for assays based on quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and hence an investigation of the origin of materials and the genetic background of ingredients in processed food.
Animal Species Identification
The innuDETECT Species ID Assays enable the identification of animal species in processed food products by their genetic information. The assays allow a highly sensitive detection of e.g. pork, beef, horse, goat, sheep, chicken, turkey and donkey. Other assays allow a fast determination of the origin of milk in cheese (beef, sheep and goat) or the detection of bird and mammal or fish DNA, e.g. for vegetarian products.
