Food Safety:
Processed meat product DNA
The manufacturing of processed meat products frequently entails the use of a blend of diverse animal-derived raw materials. Therefore, the accurate identification and verification of the origin of these raw materials is critical for ensuring food safety and quality control. The detection of species-specific DNA has been demonstrated to facilitate the authentication of ingredients and assist in the identification of potential instances of mislabeling or cross-contamination. Achieving this objective necessitates the development of an efficient method for extracting genomic DNA from processed meats. Subsequently, the extracted DNA can be utilized for PCR-based analysis targeting species-specific genes.
The AllEx® Meat Genomic DNA Kit has been developed for the extraction of genomic DNA from various types of meat tissue and processed meat products. This kit has been optimized for use with the AllEx®64 Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System, and it is based on magnetic bead technology, which enables rapid and efficient nucleic acid extraction.
In this application note, the performance of the AllEx® Meat Genomic DNA Kit had been evaluated by extracting genomic DNA from five different processed meat samples. Secondly, we performed real-time PCR using the swine GAPDH gene to verify the presence of pork-derived ingredients in the tested products.

Food Safety:
Mealworm DNA
Insects are one of the materials utilized in various fields such as agriculture, food, medicine, pest quarantine, and forensic investigation. Recently, as interest in edible insects as a future food resource increases, various efforts and food research are being conducted to discover sustainable edible insects. As food security and environmental conservation become more important due to climate change, the resource value of edible insects is expected to increase further.
The GENTi™ Advanced Genomic Extraction DNA Kit provides an efficient solution for genomic DNA extraction (; gDNA) from cultured cell, tissue, and various of samples. GENTi™ Advanced Plant Kit provides an efficient solution for DNA/RNA extraction from various plant type samples. Both kits are compatible with GENTi™ 32 Advanced Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System (shortened to GENTi™ 32 Advanced), which applied efficient and rapid magnetic bead transfer technology.
The following study evaluates the performance of two automated nucleic acid extraction kits based on yield, purity, and agarose gel electrophoresis after extracting genomic DNA from mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) using GENTi™ Advanced Genomic DNA Extraction Kit and GENTi™ Advanced Plant Kit.

Food Safety:
Raw milk DNA/RNA
Foodborne illness, more commonly referred to as food poisoning, is the result of eating contaminated, spoiled, or toxic food containing foodborne pathogens.
The food industry is trying to prevent the occurrence and remaining of pathogens through effective sterilization methods.
In the field of research, pathogen analysis is continuously being studied to track and prevent causes.
In this regard, this application note is the result of extracting bacteriological DNA using Ribospin™ Pathogen/TNA kit as a target for microorganisms present in raw milk and is used as a reference for research on food pathogens.
