Development of a Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Assay for the Potential Detection of Insect Contaminants in Food

Molecular methods can potentially be used to detect insect contaminants of food products. In this study, we used three sets of group-specific primers, two of them targeting the amplification of two regions of the insect’s mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI-Fa and COI-Fb) and the other...
