Abstract

The present invention relates to a detection method to differentiate between egg-derived ingredients and chicken-derived ingredients (chicken parts/tissues, excluding eggs) in foods or other products and primer pairs and probes used for specifically detecting chicken in foods or products.

Claims (6)

1. A detection method to differentiate chicken-derived and egg-derived ingredients in food or products, said method comprising using primer pairs having the nucleotide sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2 specific for chicken growth hormone gene, and hybridized probe having the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 3 specific for chicken growth hormone gene, as well as primer pairs having the nucleotide sequences as shown in SEQ ID NO: 4 and SEQ ID NO: 5 specific for chicken 12S rRNA gene and hybridized probe having the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID No: 6 specific for chicken 12S rRNA gene, performing PCR and real time PCR to analyze the difference in DNA amount between the growth hormone gene and the 12S rRNA gene in samples;

determining that if the result shows that only the 12S rRNA but not the growth hormone gene is detected it means that the food or other product contains egg-derived ingredients but not chicken-derived ingredients, and if the 12S rRNA gene and the growth hormone gene are both detected, it means that the food or product contains chicken-derived ingredients.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the primer pairs specific for chicken growth hormone gene have nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hybridized probe specific for chicken growth hormone has nucleotide sequence consisting of SEQ ID NO: 3.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the primer pairs specific for chicken 12S rRNA have nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID NO: 4 and SEQ ID NO: 5.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hybridized probe specific for chicken 12S rRNA gene has nucleotide sequences consisting of SEQ ID NO: 6.
