A2 Milk Testing / Indigenous cattle breed authentication

A2 milk is a misnomer! Call it indigenous cow (desi cow/nattumadu) milk!  The increased awareness about A2 enriched milk in recent times is unable to efficiently attract farmers into indigenous cattle farming due to the challenges associated, such as, higher feed cost, inappropriate milk prices and adulteration. The inability to differentiate indigenous cow milk & milk products from that of its hybrid counterpart is neither able to authenticate the genuineness of indigenous cow milk nor control the adulteration issues associated. Hence, the farmers are unable to make a case for getting prices for A2 milk, which costs almost double than the regular cow milk. A SNP genotyping based test is available to detect the presence of  A1 and A2 proteins in the milk sample, but it can neither authenticate the milk that is being sold in the market nor regulate the adulteration of the milk, as both these proteins are present in hybrid and indigenous breeds. The milk of hybrid and indigenous breeds differs with the fraction of A2 protein being present. Thereby, arising the need for quantification of A2 protein for the authentication purpose.

But, Elango Genetics has successfully overcome this issue with a molecular approach for bifurcation of indigenous and hybrid cow milk using a DNA marker other than CSN2 gene, which is specific for indigenous breeds alone. Thus, providing the farmers with a stamp of approval for indigenous cow milk and milk products.

A1/A2 Genotyping

Beta-casein is a naturally produced protein in cow milk which comes in two variants, A1 and A2. Our laboratory performs genetic test to identify type of protein produced by cow based on SNP genotyping methodology.

Animal Parentage Analysis

Microsatellite markers are a powerful tool for animal identification and pedigree verification in animals. We will help you to avoid inherited disease in your animals, and ensure correctly assigned parentage. Our dedicated veterinary consultant will allow you to select the tests appropriate to your animal. We have ready to use assay available.

Meat Authentication

Routine food testing labs are now seeking new approaches to test meat products for authenticity and adulteration to accurately identify present species. Elango Genetics provides a comprehensive approach to meat speciation, using the DNA markers in the meat sample to confirm the species with high accuracy. Reliable results ensure precisely what type of meat you are buying, selling and eating.

Herbs Authentication

Herb authentication is a quality assurance process that ensures the correct plant species and plant parts are used as raw materials for herbal medicines. The proper authentication of herbal raw materials is critically important to the safety and efficacy of herbal medicines.

Elango Genetics provides a comprehensive approach to herb authentication, using the DNA markers in the herb samples to confirm the species with high accuracy.

Microbial Identification

Elango Genetics provides molecular identification of microorganisms such as Bacteria, Fungi, Yeast and Algae. Faster turnaround time and accurate reporting strengthens our microbial analysis services. Along with this we also provide DNA fingerprinting, resistance gene sequencing and antibiotic susceptibility assays.

Basmati Rice Authentication

Due to the increased export rate of basmati rice combined with the need to protect the interest of the customers, authentication of genuine Basmati rice samples and devaluation of adulterated samples has become vital. Elango Genetics provides a comprehensive approach to basmati rice authentication based on DNA fingerprinting methodology to confirm the basmati cultivars with high accuracy. Reliable results ensure precisely what type of basmati you are buying, selling and eating.

Coffee Beans Authentication

Coffee is one of the most widely traded tropical products at a global level. Arabica and Robusta are the most popular varieties with Arabica generally favoured by discerning coffee drinkers. With a high market value and commercial importance, coffee is in the top 10 products most at risk of food adulteration. Elango Genetics provides a comprehensive approach for coffee bean authentication by SNP genotyping with high accuracy. Reliable results ensure precisely which variety of coffee you are buying, selling and drinking.

Mango Cultivars Authentication

Mango is very popular with the masses due to its richness in variety, delicious taste and excellent flavour.  However, the sub-varieties which neither have the sweetness, nor the flavour of original one but are morphologically similar and can fetch a good price at the cost of lack of experience of customer. Hence, to protect the interest of the customers, authentication of mango cultivar is necessary.

Elango Genetics provides a comprehensive approach for the authentication of mango cultivars based on DNA fingerprinting methodologywith high accuracy. Reliable results ensure precisely which cultivar of mango you are buying, selling and eating.
