After the saffron spice DNA

Scientists have proposed a new technique that allows the detection of adulterated saffron spice. By studying the DNA of the saffron spice through the analysis of its genetic code, researchers have clarified aspects of the genetic variability of this species, which has allowed the design of a system that can discriminate and certify the authenticity of saffron spice to avoid cases of adulteration.
