1 Scope
This Technical Specification describes a procedure for the qualitative detection of hazelnut (Corylus
avellana) in chocolate. DNA is extracted from the chocolate and a specific DNA sequence for hazelnut
detected from the gene for corA 1 [4], [5].
2 Principle
The total DNA is extracted from the sample and the DNA content estimated. A 152 bp long sequence
from the gene for corA 1 is multiplicated using real-time PCR. The amplicon formed in this way is
detected by annealing a sequence-specific probe and generating a fluorescence signal [4], [5].
3 Reagents
As a rule, analytical grade chemical reagents suitable for molecular biology shall be used. The water
used shall be double distilled or equivalent quality. Solutions should be prepared by dissolving the
appropriate reagents in water and autoclaving, unless indicated differently.
3.1 DNA extraction with CTAB
3.1.1 Chloroform.
3.1.2 Ethanol, volume fraction φ = 96 %.
3.1.3 Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (Na2EDTA).

For the DNA purification, different methods may be used.
Various systems are commercially available for DNA purification by means of solid phase extraction,
including spin filter columns or plates or also with vacuum operated systems. Commercially available

3.3.3 Negative PCR control, conducted with DNA-free water instead of the DNA extract from the
sample and without PCR inhibitors.
3.3.4 Negative extraction control, performing all steps of the DNA extraction procedure, except
addition of the test portion, e.g. by substitution of a corresponding amount of water for the test portion.
3.3.5 Negative process control, sample of the food matrix without target sequence, which passes
through all steps of the analytical process.

to check the influence of co-extracted substances from the sample matrix on the amplification.

Ready-to-use reagents or single components may be used as a PCR master mix, insofar as they provide
comparable or better results.
2)
FAM: 6-carboxyfluorescein, TAMRA: 6-carboxytetramethylrhodamine; equivalent reporter dyes and/or
