Development and Application of SCAR Marker for the Detection of Papaya Seed Adulteration in Traded Black Pepper Powder
2009
The present study reports the development of a specific, sensitive, and reproducible Sequence Characterized Amplified Region (SCAR) marker to detect papaya seed powder adulteration in traded black pepper powder. A putative RAPD marker (449 bp) specific to papaya seed was identified, cloned, and sequenced to design the SCAR primers. This specific SCAR marker could detect the presence of papaya seed in all the analyzed simulated standards and in one of five branded market samples of black pepper powder tested. The analytical strategy being very simple could be used for large scale screening of powdered black pepper market samples intended for export and domestic uses.
