Abstract:
... For a rapid, specific and sensitive identification of cows', ewes' and goats' milk in mono-species Sicilian dairy products, species-specific duplex-PCR protocol was applied. DNA samples from blood and experimental cheeses of Sicilian autochthonous breeds were extracted to amplify the 12S rRNA (and part of 16S rRNA in case of Ovis aries) mitochondrial species-specific gene fragment. The use of spec ...

Abstract:
... Saffron (Crocus sativus) is the most expensive spice in the world. As a consequence, saffron has frequently been associated with an unrivalled degree of adulteration. The aim of this work was searching for DNA-barcode candidates as molecular markers to differentiate C. sativus from allied species and assessing the authenticity of saffron. New primers were specifically designed targeting three DNA ...

Abstract:
... Refined oils including corn, sunflower, soybean, and palm oils as well as low-quality olive oil such as refined lampante and pomace olive oils are commonly used for extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) adulteration. Indeed, K ₂₇₀ could be used as a parameter for the detection of EVOO fraud for each type of the studied refined oils, 10 % olive, 4 % pomace olive, 10 % palm, 5 % corn, and 2 % soybean oils. ...
