- Panax ginseng products often get mixed with other species, making it important to have a reliable method to confirm their authenticity.
- This study developed a tetra-primer ARMS-PCR assay that accurately identifies P. ginseng and detects potential adulteration at different processing stages.
- The modified assay proved effective in distinguishing P. ginseng from similar species while enhancing sensitivity and specificity, providing a valuable tool for quality control in ginseng products.
