Monitoring Indian “Superfood” Moringa oleifera Lam. – species-specific PCR-fingerprint-based authentication for more consumer safety
S. Wetters, V. Sahi, et al.
Moringa oleifera Lam. is not just a superfood but also a target for adulteration. A team of researchers including Sascha Wetters, Vaidurya Sahi, Lena Brosche, Annette Häser, and Peter Nick has developed a cutting-edge DNA-based authentication method to safeguard the integrity of Moringa products against economically motivated adulterations. This innovative approach leverages advanced genetic tools to differentiate M. oleifera from other species effectively.
