Key features

  • Standard protocol for complex samples with lower processing grade, where DNA is less fragmented; DNA was successfully extracted from foods such as tomato ketchup and chocolate
  • Small-fragment protocol for highly processed foods whose DNA is fragmented to 100-200 bp by heat, pressure, irradiation, pH change or drying; used successfully on flour and corn flakes
  • Stricter column binding conditions in the small-fragment protocol retain small DNA fragments
  • Which protocol and scale fit best must be decided per sample
  • Research use only
