Dubai: Dubai Central Laboratory has developed a new technology to easily detect the presence of pork byproducts in processed meat products.
The test uses high concentrations of DNA or genetic material extracted from food items to determine if it contains pork.
The technology ensures swift and precise results, delivering outcomes within a day and enabling up to 100 tests per hour.
Engineer Hind Mahmoud Ahmed, Acting Director of Dubai Central Laboratory Department, said that the new screen mechanism is developed systematically and continuously, providing flexible, accurate testing services, the Dubai Media Office (DMO) reported.
“The new system was created in microbiological laboratories, and it has made all traded products more trustworthy by detecting pork byproduct residues with an efficiency that is about 100 times higher than that of conventional examination procedures.”
She reiterates the capability of the technology to swiftly identify various bacteria, yeasts, and fungi, linked to food product quality and microbial contaminants, significantly enhances flexibility, productivity, and the screening process.
