19、ited Kingdom.EN 13784:2001 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a screening method for foods that contain DNA. It is based on micro-gel electrophoresis of single cells or nuclei to detect DNA fragmentation presumptive to irradiation treatment 1 to 8. The DNA Comet Assay is not radiation sp

20、ecific, therefore, it is recommended to confirm positive results using a standardized method to specifically prove an irradiation treatment of the respective food, e.g. EN 1784, EN 1785, EN 1786, EN 1787, EN 1788, EN 13708, and prEN 13751. Interlaboratory studies have been successfully carried out w

21、ith a number of food products, both of animal and plant origin such as various meats 9 to 11, seeds, dried fruits and spices 6, 12. Other studies 13 to 32 demonstrate that the method is applicable to a large variety of foodstuffs, but also that limitations exist (see clause 8). 2 Normative reference

22、s This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these

23、publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).

24、. 3 Principle DNA fragmentation can be caused by various chemical or physical treatments including ionizing radiation. When food containing DNA is treated by ionizing radiation, modification of these large molecules occurs including fragmentation either by single- or double-strand breaks. This fragm

25、entation can be studied by microgel electrophoresis of single cells or nuclei. These are embedded in agarose on microscope slides, lysed for disruption of membranes using a detergent and electrophoresed at a set voltage. DNA fragments will stretch or migrate out of the cells forming a tail in the di

26、rection of the anode giving the damaged cells the appearance of a comet. This comet assay to measure DNA damage can be carried out under various conditions. Both alkaline and neutral protocols exist. In general, under alkaline conditions both DNA single- and double-strand breaks and alkali-labile si

27、tes are measured, whereas under neutral conditions only DNA double-strand breaks are observed. However, using neutral conditions 1 single-strand breaks also exert an influence on the comet appearance, due to relaxation of supercoiled DNA in the nucleus 7, 8. Irradiated cells will show an increased e

28、xtension of the DNA from the nucleus towards the anode thus considerably longer comets (more fragmentation) than unirradiated cells. Unirradiated cells will appear nearly circular or with only slight tails (see Figure A.1). This European Standard describes the use of a simple agarose single-layer se
