The presence of a mixture of flour, spices, salt,
and STTP can potentially be a contaminant in DNA
isolates. The presence of these contaminants can
interfere with the success of the PCR process and are
not repeatable. The results showed that the
occurrence rate of DNA bands from 3 repetitions
varied. The high content of polysaccharides in
isolates originating from flour, contamination of
organic compounds such as polysaccharides may
interfere with the enzymatic process of DNA
polymerase by mimicking the structure of nucleic
acids (Schrader et al., 2012). According to Bergallo
et al (2006), there are several ways to remove these
contaminants, for example, such as giving Tween 20
to remove polysaccharides.
4 CONCLUSION
The mt-DNA ND5 and Cyt-b primers were more
sensitive because they were able to amplify DNA up
to concentration of 10
-3
ng/µl compared to D-Loop
primer which were only able to amplify at
concentrations up to 10
-2
ng/µl. In addition, ND5
primer was the most sensitive to detect meatballs with
pork content up to 0.01%. Thus, the three mt-DNA
ND5, Cyt-b, and D-Loop primers were able to detect
specific and sensitive pork DNA fragments. The ND5
primer gave the most sensitive amplification results
because it was able to detect pig DNA fragments with
the lowest concentration of 10
-3
ng/µl and meatballs
with the lowest pork content of 0.01%.
