Mammalian and avian species quantification in homogenized foods: real time PCR and digital PCR as tools for label compliance controls. Sci Rep 2024; 14:10668. [PMID: 38724593 PMCID: PMC11082228 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-61009-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Currently food fraud and authenticity of products composition are topics of great concern; ingredients quantification could allow to identify small amounts of contaminats or voluntary addition of improper components. Many molecular methods are available for species identification in foodstuffs but, for a better application, they should not be affected by the interference of other ingredients. The main purpose of this work was to verify the Real Time PCR and the Digital PCR (dPCR) quantification performances on baby food samples, specifically selected for their high miscibility to limit variability; chicken was selected as target to verify the performance of quantification of methods after having spiked the same quantity in different baby foods. The other aims were: (1) to verify a constant genome copies ratio existence between mammalian and avian species (2) to verify the dPCR performance, set up on housekeeping, to quantify mammalian and avian species in commercial products. Digital PCR showed fewer differences respect to Real Time PCR, at the same 15% w/w chicken spiking level. Despite the constant difference between mammalian and avian genome copies, in samples with the same spiking weight, the confidence intervals increasing towards the extreme values, made impossible to use genome copies ratio as a sort of correction factor between species. Finally, the dPCR system using the myostatin housekeeping gene to determine the chicken content seemed reliable to verify the labelling compliance in meat-based commercial products.

Curr Res Food Sci 2023; 7:100609. [PMID: 37860145 PMCID: PMC10582345 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2023.100609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/02/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023] Open
Abstract
In recent years, meat adulteration safety incidents have occurred frequently, triggering widespread attention and discussion. Although there are a variety of meat quality identification methods, conventional assays require high standards for personnel and experimental conditions and are not suitable for on-site testing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rapid, sensitive, high specificity and high sensitivity on-site meat detection method. This study is the first to apply RPA combined with CRISPR/Cas12a technology to the field of multiple meat identification. The system developed by parameter optimization can achieve specific detection of chicken, duck, beef, pork and lamb with a minimum target sequence copy number as low as 1 × 100 copies/μL for 60 min at a constant temperature. LFD test results can be directly observed with the naked eye, with the characteristics of fast, portable and simple operation, which is extremely in line with current needs. In conclusion, the meat identification RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a-LFD system established in this study has shown promising applications in the field of meat detection, with a profound impact on meat quality, and provides a model for other food safety control programs.

A Novel Universal Primer Multiplex Real-Time PCR (UP-M-rtPCR) Approach for Specific Identification and Quantitation of Cat, Dog, Fox, and Mink Fractions Using Nuclear DNA Sequences. Foods 2023; 12:foods12030594. [PMID: 36766123 PMCID: PMC9914226 DOI: 10.3390/foods12030594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Adulteration of meat with carnivorous animals (such as cats, dogs, foxes, and minks) can cause ethical problems and lead to disease transmission; however, DNA quantitative methods for four carnivorous species in one tube reaction are still rare. In this study, a carnivore-specific nuclear DNA sequence that is conserved in carnivorous animals but has base differences within the sequence was used to design universal primers for its conserved region and corresponding species-specific probes for the hypervariable region. A novel universal primer multiplex real-time PCR (UP-M-rtPCR) approach was developed for the specific identification and quantitation of cat, dog, fox, and mink fractions in a single reaction, with a 0.05 ng absolute limit of detection (LOD) and 0.05% relative LOD. This approach simplifies the PCR system and improves the efficiency of simultaneous identification of multiple animal-derived ingredients in meat. UP-M-rtPCR showed good accuracy (0.48-7.04% relative deviation) and precision (1.42-13.78% relative standard deviation) for quantitative analysis of cat, dog, fox, and mink DNA as well as excellent applicability for the evaluation of meat samples.

Abstract
Duck is often used in meat fraud as a substitute for more expensive meats. Rapid detection of duck ingredient in meat products is of great significance for combating meat fraud and safeguarding the interests of consumers. Therefore, we aim to develop duck-specific recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)-based assays for the rapid detection of duck ingredient in animal-derived foods. Using Cytb gene as target, the real-time RPA and RPA combined with lateral flow strips (LFS RPA) were developed successfully for the rapid detection of ducks in 20 min at 39 °C and 40 °C, respectively. The assays did not show cross-reactions with 6 other livestock and poultry. The developed RPA assays could detect 10 pg duck genomic DNA per reaction and 0.1 % (w/w) duck ingredient in duck and mutton mixed powder within 30 min, including a rapid nucleic acid extraction. Furthermore, duck ingredient could be detected in 30 different actual foods including heat-processed meats and blood products. Therefore, duck-specific real-time RPA and LFS RPA assays were successfully developed with good specificity and sensitivity, which could enable rapid detection of duck ingredient in the field and provide technical support for combating the meat fraud.

Abstract
Frequent meat frauds have become a global issue because adulteration risks the food safety, breaches market rules, and even threatens public health. Multiplex PCR is considered to be a simple, fast, and inexpensive technique that can be applied for the identification of meat products in food industries. However, relatively less is known about a multiplex PCR method authenticating seven animal species simultaneously in one reaction due to technological challenge. Through screening new species-specific primers and optimizing PCR system, a heptaplex PCR method was established, which could simultaneously detect seven meat ingredients of camel (128 bp), pigeon (157 bp), chicken (220 bp), duck (272 bp), horse (314 bp), beef (434 bp), and pork (502 bp) in a single-tube reaction. DNA sequencing solidly validated that each set of primers specifically amplified target species from total DNA mixtures of seven meat species. The developed multiplex assay was stable and sensitive enough to detect 0.01–0.025 ng DNA from various meat treatments including raw, boiled, and autoclaved meat samples or target meat content of 0.1% total meat weight, suggesting the suitability of the heptaplex PCR technique for tracing target meats with high accuracy and precision. Most importantly, a market survey validated the availability of this multiplex PCR technique in real-world meat products with a good application foreground.

Abstract
Frequent meat frauds have aroused significant social attention. The aim of this study is to construct a two-tube hexaplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method offering accurate molecular authentication of twelve meat species in actual adulteration event. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing demonstrates that designed primers can specifically amplify target species from genomic DNA mixture of six species in each tube reaction, which showed 100% accuracy of horse (148 bp), pigeon (218 bp), camel (283 bp), rabbit (370 bp), ostrich (536 bp), and beef (610 bp) as well as turkey (124 bp), dog (149 bp), chicken (196 bp), duck (277 bp), cat (380 bp), and goose (468 bp). A species-specific primer pair produced the target band in the presence of target genomic DNA but not non-target species. Through multiplex PCR assays with serial concentration of the DNA mixture of six species in each PCR reaction, the detection limit (LOD) of the two-tube hexaplex PCR assay reached up to 0.05–0.1 ng. Using genomic DNA isolated from both boiled and microwave-cooked meat as templates, PCR amplification generated expected PCR products. These findings demonstrate that the proposed method is specific, sensitive and reproducible, and is adequate for food inspection. Most importantly, this method was successfully applied to detect meat frauds in commercial meat products. Therefore, this method is of great importance with a good application foreground.

Abstract
Droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) suffers from the need for specific equipment and skilled personnel; thus, we here present a chamber-based digital PCR microfluidic device that is compatible with fluorescence image read-out systems and removes bubbles by a pre-degassed microfluidic device that consists of a pilot channel and micro chamber arrays. Digitalized PCR reagents are introduced into micro chambers, and thermocycles are taken to perform a DNA amplification process. Then, fluorescence images of a micro chamber array are read out and analyzed to obtain the total number of positive chambers. Thereby, the copy numbers of target DNA are calculated for quantitative detections. As a validation, this device is evaluated by the application of meat authentication. We performed dPCR tests using DNA templates extracted from a pure mutton DNA template with different dilutions. Then, the dPCR chip was used to identify the meat authentication using mutton–chicken mixtures with different mass ratios, showing its performance in real biotechnical applications.

Abstract
Multiplex PCR methods have been frequently used for authentication of meat product adulteration. Through screening of new species-specific primers designed based on the mitochondrial DNA sequences, a septuple PCR method is ultimately developed and optimized to simultaneously detect seven species including turkey (110 bp), goose (194 bp), pig (254 bp), sheep (329 bp), beef (473 bp), chicken (612 bp) and duck (718 bp) in one reaction. The proposed method has been validated to be specific, sensitive, robust and inexpensive. Taken together, the developed septuple PCR assay is reliable and efficient, not only to authenticate animal species in commercial meat products, but also easily feasible in a general laboratory without special infrastructures.
