Abstract
The detection of Pig, Dog, Cat, Rat and Monkey Derived Materials in a single assay platform, saving the cost and time of the separate identifying PCR assays of the said species by at least five folds. The components include five different sets of species-specific primers that specifically detect five different segments (108- 172 bp) of three different mitochondrial genes of the mentioned species. Mitochondrial gene targets of these lengths are highly stable under extreme conditions of physical, chemicals and environmental shocks, suggesting the assay validity even under stressful conditions such as degraded specimens. Applications include the authentication of Halal, kosher, vegetarian and genetically modified foods as well as the analysis of forensic, ecological and archaeological specimens the species said above. This trademark registered in class 9 and 42
