To determine: The three molecular approaches now used in food safety testing.
Introduction: There are various molecular approaches used for the screening of pathogens present in food. The procedures for testing of food involves nucleic-based methods, immunological methods, and biosensors.
To determine: The molecular technique which can be used in the field.
Introduction: The molecular techniques are often used in food safety testing due to their rapid results. Molecular techniques are used for the detection of micro-organisms present in foodstuff. Although there is one limitation, which is that nucleic acid may be present even after the death of the cell so that they may be present even after the end of the foodborne pathogen.
