1 Scope
This Technical Specification describes a procedure for the qualitative detection of peanut (Arachis
hypogaea) in chocolate using real-time PCR based on the gene for the peanut allergen Ara h 2 [4], [5].
2 Principle
The total DNA is extracted from the sample and the DNA content estimated. A sequence specific to
peanut from the gene for Ara h 2 is multiplicated using real-time PCR. The amplicon with a length of 86
base pairs (bp) formed in this way is detected by annealing a sequence-specific probe and generating a
fluorescence signal [4].
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.
