| dc.description.abstract | Hypericum species are among the medicinal plants that are being increasingly used due to their reported health benefits. Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort) is well known for its anti-inflammatory, antidepressive and anti-viral properties, as well as a healing agent. In Portuguese folk medicine, Hypericum androsaemum (Hiperic~ao do Ger^es) is largely used for its hepatic protective and diuretic properties. This work aimed at searching the potential use of two DNA mini-barcode candidates (ITS1 and matK) for the authentication of H. perforatum and H. androsaemum in herbal infusions. The sequencing results from ITS1 and matK regions were the basis for the development of species-specific PCR and real-time PCR assays coupled to High Resolution Melting (HRM) analysis, as simple approaches for the reliable discrimination of both species. The barcode regions were successful in the species-specific PCR identification of each target. ITS1 region revealed some intra-species variability from sequencing results, which compromises HRM analysis, while matK showed to be an adequate mini-barcode for the differentiation of both species by real-time PCR coupled to HRM analysis. The assays were effectively applied to commercial herbal infusions, enabling the consistent identification of two labels with non-declared Hypericum species. | pt_PT |
