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.
