Identification of Biological Assays to Authenticate Basmati Rice Varieties
What the buyer wrote
Consultation with scientific and industry experts has identified the need to update current Basmati rice authentication methods. Kompetitive Allelle specific PCR (KASP) assays are quicker, cheaper and more reliable than current methods and so have the potential to be readily adopted by Public Analysts to support food law enforcement. Project aim: To identify an appropriate set of KASP markers that could be used subsequently in a Basmati authentication test. The project objectives are: 1.
