Abstract:This study aimed to explore the applicability of DNA barcoding for assessing the authenticity of caviar on the Chinese market. A set of universal COI primers and two sets of designed primers based on COI and D-loop genes were used to identify maternal species of samples from 21 batches of caviar. The results showed that the PCR products from three sets of primers had more than 98% similarity to the sequences in database. The COI gene could not distinguish sturgeons with closed genetic relationships, while D-lo… Show more
