Detection of porcine DNA - Test method - Food and food products
This Malaysian Standard describes the adapted and modified methods for the qualitative detection of porcine deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in food and food products. It is applicable to raw materials, processed and highly processed food and food products. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique is used for the identification and confirmation of porcine DNA present.
The method described has been optimised for different food matrices (homogeneous or heterogeneous). However, due to the type of food analysed, some of the processes may have to be modified in the laboratory. In such cases, the laboratory may proceed with the modifications, provided validation studies had been carried out.
