Detection Genetically modified food
testing on gmos in food , feed routinely done using molecular techniques such pcr , bioinformatics.
in january 2010 paper, extraction , detection of dna along complete industrial soybean oil processing chain described monitor presence of roundup ready (rr) soybean: amplification of soybean lectin gene end-point polymerase chain reaction (pcr) achieved in steps of extraction , refining processes, until refined soybean oil. amplification of rr soybean pcr assays using event-specific primers achieved extraction , refining steps, except intermediate steps of refining (neutralisation, washing , bleaching) possibly due sample instability. real-time pcr assays using specific probes confirmed results , proved possible detect , quantify genetically modified organisms in refined soybean oil. our knowledge, has never been reported before , represents important accomplishment regarding traceability of genetically modified organisms in refined oils.
according thomas redick, detection , prevention of cross-pollination possible through suggestions offered farm service agency (fsa) , natural resources conservation service (nrcs). suggestions include educating farmers on importance of coexistence, providing farmers tools , incentives promote coexistence, conduct research understand , monitor gene flow, provide assurance of quality , diversity in crops, provide compensation actual economic losses farmers.
