Breakthrough in detecting adulteration in ginseng supplements
A Chapman University study found 48% of 50 ginseng supplements tested contained undeclared plant species like rice, wheat, avocado, and pumpkin. The research, combining DNA barcoding and multiplex PCR, suggests a more powerful method for detecting adulteration, though 28% of samples were unidentifiable. Future research should integrate DNA-based methods with chemical-based approaches for improved detection and quantification of adulterants.
