Analysis of Microsatellites (SSRs) in Processed Olives as a Means of Cultivar Traceability and Authentication.

Abstract excerpt

Select cultivars of table olives have more desirable traits and a higher economic value. There are suspected issues with cultivar mislabeling and traceability in the supply chain. Here, we describe a method to identify cultivars by genotyping of processed olives. DNA was extracted from leaves and California-style olives of seven commonly packed cultivars. Processed olive fruits yielded relatively low DNA...
