Deoxyribonucleic Acid Barcoding for the Identification of Botanicals

Prog Chem Org Nat Prod. 2023;122:261-288. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-26768-0_4.ABSTRACTThe Natural Herbal Products industry uses botanicals or herbs as raw materials for production of herbal products or dietary supplements. Recently, the demand for natural herbal products has increased tremendously and this has led to adulteration and to counterfeit herbal products. The present chapter deals with currently used molecular methods from "simple" single genomic regions to high-throughput whole genome or transcriptome sequencing methods used in the identification of botanicals.PMID:37392314 | DOI:10.1007/978-3-031-26768-0_4
