plate counting techniques is too slow to allow appropriate intervention measures, PCR
reaction offers a rapid alternative, but it can be inhibited by components of food samples. We
developed a DNA extraction method directly from orange juice for rapid yeast detection by
PCR amplification of the rRNA internal transcribed spacers including the 5.8 S rRNA gene at
a detection limit of 103cfu/ml juice sample. We show that it is possible to reduce detection …
