A suitable method to detect potential fraud of bringing Malayan box turtle (Cuora amboinensis) meat into the food chain

Abstract: Malayan box turtle (Cuora amboinensis) has been a wildlife-protected vulnerable turtle species in Malaysia since 2005. However, because of its purported usage in traditional medicine, tonic foods and feeds, clandestine black market trade is rampant. Several polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for the taxonomic detection and classification of turtle species have been proposed. These assays are based on long-length target amplicons which are assumed to break down under compromised states and, hence, might not… Show more

“…Oligonucleotide primers specific to the MBT cytochrome b gene sequence were designed following a standardized procedure published in our earlier report [ 26 ]. The designed primers were Forward-5′-AGCCCTTCTAACATCTCTGCTC-3′, and Reverse-5′—CTCACCAGACATCTCACTAGCA-3′, which targeted a 120-bp site of the cyt b gene, and their specificity was ensured by three different testing systems [ 50 ].…”

“…To simulate the complexity of the matrices, two types of binary mixtures, i.e., MBT-beef and MBT-goat, were made in a total volume of 100 g of specimen by mixing MBT meat in a proportion of 10%, 1%, 0.1% and 0.01% with an adjusted amount of beef and goat meat[ 26 , 39 , 52 ]. A ternary admixture composed of MBT meat, chicken and wheat flour was made by mixing 10%, 1%, 0.1% and 0.01% of turtle meat into chicken and wheat flour, in which the MBT:chicken:wheat flower contribution was 20:80:100, 2:98:100, 0.2:99.8:100 and 0.02:99.98:100, respectively[ 52 ].…”
