  • Method for detection and identification of Anacardium species sequence from a sample
    Patent number: 6942976
    Abstract: This invention relates to Anacardium sp. specific genomic DNA sequence and the methods for utilization of these sequences in detection of Cashew husk in tea samples. Particularly this invention relates to a very sensitive, accurate and efficient method of identification of Anacardium occidentale (cashew) species. The method is designed to detect presence of any part of cashew plant including the dried and ground apple in market samples of made tea. The main application of this invention is to detect the adulteration of loose as well as branded tea by any part of cashew plant and thus is a part of quality control measures, in addition to the taxonomical authentication of cashew plants.

  • Species specific DNA sequences and their utilization in identification of viola species and authentication of “banafsha” by polymerase chain reaction
    Patent number: 6924127
    Abstract: This invention relates to Viola specific DNA sequences and methods for identification of Viola species using the said sequences. The invention also relates to a method for detection of adulteration in ‘banafsha’ by polymerase chain reaction method. Particularly this invention relates to a very sensitive, accurate and efficient method for identification of Viola species from even the powdered form of the plant or its admixtures with other plant species. More particularly, the method is designed to test the genuineness of ‘banafsha’.
