Abstract

Some current commonly used methods for identification of botanical
origin of honey involve melissopalynological analysis or other analytical
methods. However, these methods can be less sensitive and time-consuming.
DNA-based methods have become popular due to their quickness and reliability.
In this respect, the purpose on the present study is to compare two DNA
extraction kits – DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen) and GeneJET Genomic DNA
Purification Mini Kit (Thermo Scientific) and CTAB method combined with
different pre-treatment procedures and applied to 3 multifloral and 2
monofloral honey samples. The DNA extraction and amplification was carried out
for all honey samples with similar results in each replication. The extracted
DNA was amplified by PCR using plant specific primers rbcL gene and trnH-psbA
spacer. The result obtained confirming that the DNA extracted has good quality
for analysis of PCR products and that it can be used for botanical
identification of honey.
