A real-time polymerase chain reaction assay using primers targeting the porcine-specific mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene and universal eukaryotic primers amplifying a conserved fragment of the nuclear 18S rRNA gene has been developed for the detection and quantification of porcine DNA in food and feedstuffs. The 18S rRNA primers were used as endogenous control for the total content of PCR-amplifiable DNA in the sample. The assay was tested on DNA extracted from raw and heat-treated binary mixtures of porcine tissues in a plant matrix, and on DNA extracted from reference feedstuff samples. Analysis of experimental mixtures demonstrated the suitability of the assay for the detection and quantification of porcine DNA in mixtures containing as little as 0.1%.
