Abstract: | Koumiss is a popular dairy product in many lands, traditionally prepared from mare milk with spontaneous fermentation. Mare milk and its fermented derivates are more expensive than cow milk and its fermented derivates, and the possibility exists for producers and dealers to adulterate equine products with bovine items. In this work, we described the development of a triplex real-time PCR based on species-specific TaqMan probes for identification of bovine and equine DNA in milks and dairy products. In addition, a novel designed endogenous control was simultaneously amplified to eliminate possible false negatives. With this methodology, bovine and equine DNA were specifically identified by employing developed primers and probes. The limits of detection of this method were 0.001 ng for cow milk, yogurt, and mare milk, and 0.005 ng for sour soup and koumiss, respectively. In addition, the triplex real-time PCR assay for authentication of animal-derived products was effectively validated using binary DNA and milk mixtures, exhibiting well in terms of specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility. In short, the triplex PCR assay was verified to be a time-saving and money-saving technique for the identification of bovine and equine DNA in milks and dairy products. |
