Abstract: This study reported on the application of plant DNA barcoding technique to detect adulteration of starch and starch products. Genomic DNA samples were extracted from alfalfa, potato, cassava, sweet potato and maize and were used as templates for PCR amplification with the universal primers ITS2, matK, rbcL and trnH-psbA. The sequences were aligned using the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) with those deposited in the GenBank database. The identification abilities of 4 DNA fragments were compared by success rate. Five starch samples and 4 vermicelli samples we collected were detected using the group of ITS2 + trnH-psbA with higher efficiency.

Key words: DNA barcoding, starch, vermicelli, adulteration detection
