Abstract: A number of protein or DNA methods for detection of genetically modified foods (GMFs) were discussed in this review,including western blot,enzyme linked immunesorbent assay (ELISA),polymerase chain reaction (PCR),southern blot and so on. Several new methods have been recommended to detect genetically modified foods,such as microarray and PCR-ELISA. The discussions were made on various detection methods in terms of their principle,advantage and disadvantage,application and problems.

Key words: genetically modified foods (GMFs), detection technology, polymerase chain reaction(PCR), enzyme linked immunesorbent assay (ELISA)
