Identification of plant, animal and bacterial species through their DNA

Identification of plant, animal and bacterial species through their DNA

The technique

DNA Barcording allows the identification of a species and its traceability along the production chain through the analysis of one or few DNA regions at species level and variable among different species (DNA Barcode marker).

The service

FEM2-Ambiente developed a dynamic service, easily adaptable to customer needs. Through the analysis of specific region of DNA, we can assess the quality and purity of raw and processed materials and we can track the complete value chain.

The analyzes can be carried out on:

    • Products of animal origin (white and red meat, fish and milk)
    • Products of vegetable origin (fruits, vegetables, spices)
    • Fresh produces (meat or fish fillets)
    • Products processed (jam, homogenized, canned products)
Examples

  • Verify the declared species of a fillet of fish or meat
  • Check the presence or absence of a bacterium, such as salmonella, in a batch (milk, canned foods, etc.)
  • Check the purity the purity of a spice, like saffron
  • Check the presence or absence of poisonous or harmful plants in a herb mixture (tea and infusions)
