Provided is a method whereby walnut can be simply, rapidly and accurately separated and distinguished from pecan nut. The method involves a PCR method for specifically detecting nuts of the family Juglandaceae and identifying the matK sequence of pecan nut to thereby discriminate walnut and pecan nut from each other optionally using restriction enzymes.

Method of separating and distinguishing walnut from pecan nut

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for detecting irradiation treatment of foods. The present invention provides a method for detecting irradiation treatment of foods comprising the steps of (A) obtaining a fraction containing one or more irradiation-generated fragments of natural high-molecular weight compound(s) from a food sample, and (B) reacting the fraction with one or more antibodies capable of recognizing the one or more fragments, thereby detecting the one or more fragments. The invention also provides a kit for detecting irradiation treatment of foods.

Method for the detection of irradiation treatment of foods

The first primer of the invention is a primer which, when used in PCR under appropriate conditions, serves to detectably amplify 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs of bacteria of theandgenera, but when used in PCR under the same conditions, does not serve to detectably amplify either chloroplast 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs or mitochondrial 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs. The second primer of the invention is a primer which, when used in PCR under appropriate conditions, serves to detectably amplify 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs ofandbut when used in PCR under the same conditions, does not serve to detectably amplify either chloroplast 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs or mitochondrial 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs.
