Authors: Ivana Regecová, Soňa Demjanová, Pavlina Jevinová and Monika Pipová
Keywords: DNA isolation, Fusarium spp., PCR, hen’s eggs

The development of detection and quantification systems for Fusarium spp. is time- consuming. It is, therefore, necessary to develop specific detection methods for this genus to facilitate monitoring of the environment and food for the presence of Fusarium spp. as a potential toxinogenic agent in food. The aim of this work was to find the … [Read more…]

Authors: Eliška Servusová, Zora Piskatá, Gabriela Bořilová, Michaela Nesvadbová and Iva Steinhauserová
Keywords: DNA isolation, PCR analysis, food authenticity

The aim of this study was to find suitable methods for the homogenisation and isolation of nucleic acids from samples of raw and thermally or mechanically treated muscle tissue and various types of meat products and pet foods. The effect of various processing methods (high temperature, pressure, mechanical processing, and addition of other raw materials) … [Read more…]
