Description

However, there are some problems in the pork market, such as some merchants will mix cheap chicken, duck and other meats into pork. In order to ensure the safety and quality of pork, the following detection methods are traditionally used: sensory detection: preliminary judgment is made by observing the sensory indicators such as color, smell, and elasticity of pork, but this method is highly subjective and has low accuracy, and it is difficult to identify problems such as adulterated meat and veterinary drug residues; physical and chemical detection: chemical reagents or instruments are used to analyze the composition of pork, such as detecting moisture, protein, and fat content, but this method is complicated to operate, time-consuming, and cannot specifically identify the type of adulterated meat; microbial detection: the type and number of microorganisms in pork are detected by culture or molecular biology methods, but this method has a long cycle and high cost, and it is difficult to meet the needs of rapid detection.

[0077] Experimental Example 1

[0078] Design of RPA primers, gDNA, and meat molecular beacons

[0079] The conserved sequence of pigs used in the present invention is from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI, https: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov): pig (NC_000845.1), and the conserved sequence of pigs is SEQ ID NO.12: CATAATAAATGCATTTACAGCAATTCTCTTCCTAGGAGCATCC (5'-3'). The conserved sequence downloaded from NCBI was synthesized into a plasmid by GENEWIZ (Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China) (the following is the template DNA used to optimize the reaction conditions of the entire RPA-PfAgo system). According to the design principles listed in the instructions of the TwistAmp DNA amplification kit, three sets of RPA primers were designed for the mitochondrial conserved sequence of pork. The specificity of the designed primers was verified by the Primer-BLAST tool of NCBI. The guide DNA (gDNA) was designed according to the cleavage characteristics of the PfAgo protein, including sequences complementary to the RPA primers. Two gDNA sequences and their corresponding molecular beacons were designed, the 5' end of the molecular beacon was labeled with 6-carboxyfluorescein (FAM) or 6-carboxy-X-rhodamine (ROX), and the 5' end of the gDNA was phosphorylated (see Table 1). The designed primers, gDNA and molecular beacons were synthesized by GENEWIZ (Suzhou, Jiangsu, China).

[0082]

[0083] The RPA-PfAgo system design flow chart for pork testing is available at Figure 1 .

[0084] These primers were evaluated in RPA reactions, randomly paired to assess amplification efficiency and specificity. All tested combinations produced a distinct single band pattern, indicating amplification of the specific target. Quantitative gel analysis by ImageJ software enabled the selection of the three most efficient primer pairs under standardized conditions based on band brightness and clarity (see Figure 2). The best primer pairs determined were: F1R2, F1R3, and F3R2, of which F1R2 was the best, and F1R2 was used in subsequent experimental examples and embodiments. Subsequent screening paired these primers with two sets of specifically designed gDNAs for each type of meat and further evaluated them by PfAgo enzyme digestion. The results showed that the most suitable gDNAs for pork were P-gDNA21-1 and P-gDNA21-2, and subsequent experimental examples and embodiments also used gDNA21-1 and gDNA21-2. These combinations consistently produced clear and distinct RPA products, confirming their suitability for accurate meat identification.

When performing PCR verification, the forward primer sequence used for chicken was SEQ ID NO.13: TCGACCCAGCAAATTATAGACCCAC, and the reverse primer sequence was SEQ ID NO.14: GCAAGAGTATGATTGTTGGTAGGATGATCT; the forward primer sequence used for duck was SEQ ID NO.15: GCCCATCCTTCCCACAGTATCAATC, and the reverse primer sequence was SEQ ID NO.16: CGGCGGCTAGCAGGATAGATGAGTT; the forward primer sequence used for pork was SEQ ID NO.17: AAACACTCGCATTAACAATCACCTT, and the reverse primer sequence was SEQ ID NO.18: TGTAGAATGTGGTGTATTTTGGTAGCACGGA; the forward primer sequence used for mutton was SEQ ID NO.19: GCCTCTCCAGTATTAAACTTGC, and the reverse primer sequence was SEQ ID NO. NO.20: GTACTCGTTTGCATGTTTAAGACAGAC; the forward primer sequence used for beef is SEQ ID NO.21: ATTATACATCGCCTAGCTCCATACA, and the reverse primer sequence is SEQ ID NO.22: GGTTCTTTAGTGAAGAGGCCATAGGGA.

[0128] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that the RPA-PfAgo system of the present invention detected that samples 6, 8, 9, 12, 14 and 16 contained pork, which is consistent with Figure 7The PCR test results match those of the control group, indicating that the RPA-PfAgo system of the present application has high detection sensitivity and good application value.

[0129] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
