Objective

To establish a method for detecting DNA in highly pigmented food samples by membrane-based improved cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) combined with real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Methods

Black sesame, tea seed meal and rapeseed meal were selected as samples. The optimized protocol employed 0.7 μm glass fiber membrane with 70% ethanol as the rinsing solution and 3 rounds of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (TE) buffer elution. Pigment removal was achieved through membrane-specific adsorption and selective permeability. The extraction efficiency of the modified CTAB method was compared with that of the traditional CTAB method, and DNA purity and amplification efficiency were evaluated via real-time fluorescence PCR targeting endogenous genes.

Results

The modified method demonstrated significantly superior DNA decolorization effects compared to the traditional CTAB method.Endogenous genes were successfully detected in all 3 kinds of samples, with DNA mass concentrations exceeding 100 ng/μL and cycle threshold (Ct) values ranging between 20 and 25. In contrast, the traditional CTAB method failed to achieve real-time fluorescence PCR amplification due to pigment residue.

Conclusion

The membrane-optimized CTAB method simplifies purification steps, enhances decolorization efficiency, and significantly improves the extraction and detection success rate of DNA from highly pigmented foods. This approach provides a reliable and efficient technical solution for food safety testing.
