摘要

To safeguard the food supply from potential dangers requires comprehensive knowledge and effective control measures. Central to this solution is the need to accurately detect and identify the origin of such hazards. As the fundamental base in the development of living organisms, nucleic acids function to deliver genetic information or to act as signal molecules for catalytic activity. Therefore, detection techniques based on nucleic acids can be universally applied in determining contaminant hazards in food caused by the harvesting and manufacturing processes. This review will emphasize the importance of nucleic acids in food safety and give an introduction to nucleic acid detection techniques.
