| dc.description.abstract | Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) is a medicinal plant mainly used for its antioxidant, diuretic, choleretic and hepatoprotective properties, being frequently included in weightloss plant food supplements (PFS) (Lattanzio et al, 2009). PFS are legally considered as foods under EU Directive 2002/46/EC, which means that PFS are not submitted to any safety assessment prior to their commercialisation. This can lead to adulteration issues. such as accidental swap ofplants or deliberate substitution ofhigh value plant material by other species of lower cost. In arder to ensure consumer's safety, the development of analytical methods for plant species identifícation in complex matrices hás become cmcial. Só far DNA-based methods have been reported as the most adequate tools for plant authentication (Kazi et al, 2013). Thus, the main goal of the present study was to discriminate C. scolymus from other Cynara spp. in PFS by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) coupled to high resolution melting (HRM) analysis. For this purpose, differeat Cynara species (C. scolymus, C. cardunculus, C. humilis and C. syriaca} were obtained from Portuguese, Spanish and French germplasm banks. A total of eight PFS samples containing artichoke were acquired at local herbal stores. DNA fi-om plant material and PFS was exbracted using the commercial NucleoSpin Plant II kit/The specificity and sensitivity of the designed primers targeting the C. scolymus (GenBank EU744973. 1) were assayed by qualitative and real-time PCR. Prior to the specific amplification of C. scolymus, DNA extracts were positively tested targeting an universal eukaryotic sequence (18S rRNA gene). The application of the specific PCR assay was successfül for the detection ofthe genus Cynara in some ofthe PFS samples. The results of real-time PCR coupled to HRM analysis showed that different Cynara ~spp. were included in three distinct clusters with a levei of confidence above 99.4%, thus discriminating artichoke from other Cynara species. The proposed HRM analysis allowed confirming the unequivocal presence of C. scolymus in the tested PFS with high levei of confídence (>98. 8%). To our knowledge, this is the first successfül attempt for the rapid discrimination ofC. scolymus in PFS. | pt_PT |
