Investigating The GMO Existence in Chips and Breakfast Cereals Marketed in Turkey

In this research, processed or low samples containing corn products (corn semolina, flour, etc.) and soybean were randomly collected from the market, 25 in total (chips, nuts, cereals, flour) analyzed for genetic modification using DNA based detection method, polymerase chain reaction. First, homogenization of was performed. Then isolation done by Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB) Roche High Pure Isolation Kit. Since Kit gave better results, analysis completed with method. After isolation, Lectin gene, Zein CaMV 35S Promoter NOS Terminator regions performed conventional PCR. gene determination searching proving presence similarly, GMO3/GMO4 Zein3/Zein4 primer pairs used determination, respectively. The amplification observed agarose gel electrophoresis. genes detected 17 while these not 8 samples. Samples, which scanned promoter terminator. 35S-3/35S-6 tNOS2F/tNOS2R scanning Terminator, To observe possible contamination mix sterilized deionized water 0% Bt-11 GTS 40-3-2 as a negative control, 5% 10% GTS-40-3-2 positive control. All did provide enough required quality. This result considered to be sourced applications (frying, extruding, pressing that had been exposed during processes. Neither Promotor nor determined any
