Cover Story: If adulteration of a food product is suspected, this suspicion must be dispelled or confirmed as quickly as possible to avoid harm to the industry or the consumer. A reliable and specific rapid test system is therefore required for use in routine analysis. Due to its ever-increasing popularity, oregano is often the target of adulteration with morphologically similar material. LAMP assays (loop-mediated isothemal amplification) were developed and optimized to detect the frequently found contaminants, strawberry tree and olive leaves, in oregano, including DNA isolation, within 30 minutes. The result can be read out directly using user-friendly lateral flow assay. View this paper
