Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a method for detecting animal-derived components based on high-throughput sequencing technology and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, my country's food industry has entered a golden period of rapid development. Poultry and livestock meat products and their products have enriched the dining tables of the general public. Meat products are the main channel for people to obtain high-quality protein. The quality of meat products is closely related to human health. However, in recent years, food adulteration has occurred frequently. Meat product adulteration is a common type of food adulteration phenomenon. It is mainly due to the fact that some illegal vendors add or even replace meat products with similar-shaped and cheaper non-species meat in order to make profits. Taking the "horse meat storm" incident as an example, horse meat ingredients were detected in beef products in many large supermarkets in the UK and other European countries in 2013. Most of these adulterated meats have not been reviewed by the quarantine department, and some are even non-edible meats. These meats of unknown origin may carry unknown pathogens or contain some harmful chemical components, which have serious effects on the health of consumers. In order to more effectively supervise and control the occurrence of such phenomena, and to prevent such adulterated meat from flowing into the hands of consumers as much as possible, the establishment of an effective animal-derived component detection method can not only effectively crack down on illegal vendors, but also take targeted measures to reduce the occurrence of such phenomena.
[0003] Many scholars at home and abroad have also conducted a lot of research on the detection technology of animal-derived ingredients. At present, the genes that can be used to identify the ingredients of meat food are usually located on mitochondria (mtDNA), including cytochrome b (Cytb) gene, cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, 12SrDNA, 16SrDNA, D-loop gene, etc. At present, the adulteration and doping inspection of meat products at home and abroad are mainly based on PCR-RFLP, multiplex PCR, real-time quantitative PCR and other methods. However, these technologies can generally only detect one or two indicators each time, and cannot comprehensively analyze and detect the various animal-derived ingredients involved in the food. When encountering mixed samples of several different varieties, to determine the relative amount of each variety in the mixture, it is necessary to find the only known target sequence in the variety as a reference sequence, and it is very difficult to obtain accurate measurement results. In addition, the existing detection methods have high requirements on the operator's skills and laboratory instrument equipment configuration, and the detection cost is expensive. It is difficult to meet the detection requirements of high efficiency, large batch, large scale, simple operation, etc., and it cannot meet the urgent needs of market supervision and real-time control of the quality of raw materials and finished products of enterprises. Therefore, developing a convenient, fast, highly sensitive, low-cost, short-detection-time, accurate and high-throughput detection method to achieve rapid identification of unknown animal-derived ingredients and precise determination of adulteration and doping will help law enforcement agencies to quickly and accurately identify animal-derived ingredients and improve the detection capabilities of functional departments. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting animal-derived ingredients based on high-throughput sequencing technology and its application in view of the deficiencies of the prior art. The detection method directly performs high-throughput sequencing analysis on the extracted sample DNA, ensuring sufficient data volume, and the design of universal primers can simultaneously determine meat products adulterated with multiple different species, and can determine the relative content of each species in the meat products, thereby realizing the rapid identification of unknown animal-derived ingredients and the accurate determination of adulteration and doping.

[0017] d1. The obtained PCR product was subjected to 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. The target fragment size was 400 bp to 500 bp.
[0018] Furthermore, the DNA extraction method of the sample in step (1) is as follows: the meat product is cut into pieces and ground, 100-300 mg of the sample is weighed, and the total DNA of the sample is extracted using a deep-processed food DNA extraction kit.
[0019] Furthermore, the MiSeq sequencing step in step (3) is as follows: purify the PCR products of each sample using AMPure XP beads, confirm whether the impurity fragments are removed by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and use Qubit ® The purified PCR products were quantitatively analyzed by Fluorometer and uniformly diluted to 4 nM. Each sample and PhiX Control were combined to form a sequencing sample library. After denaturation treatment, the MiSeq Reagent Kit v2 (500-cycles) was used for sequencing.
[0020] Furthermore, the step (4) of SAFESeqr Suite data analysis is as follows: the FASTQ files of the sample Read1 and Read2 obtained by sequencing are imported into SAFESeqr Suite, and the sample components and component results are analyzed. The relevant introduction of the SAFESeqr Suite software used can be found on the following website:
[0021] Furthermore, the sequences of the primers PR2-F and PR2-R are shown in SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:2.
