The protection of consumer rights to information as well as the genetically modified orgamisms （GMO） labe-ling polily required analytical methods to determine whether the oils contained genetically modified ingre-dient or not. Polymerase chain reaction （PCR） - based method was used commonly to determine the presence of GMOs. Adulteration attracted peoples concern also. Thus it was crucial that enough DNA ex-tracts can be obtained successfully from oil samples. For the purpose, three DNA extraction methods （modified emulsification method, the kits Wizard Magnetic DNA purification system for food and Nucleospin Food） ,were applied to 3 different grades of rapeseed oil samples. Those methods were compared by the amplification of Brassica napus reference gene CruA using real - time PCR. The results demonstra-ted that both the modified emulsification and the Nucleospin methods were able to extract enough DNA from refined oils. The modified emulsification method was superior to the kit of Nucleospin food due to smaller volume of required sample.展开更多
