Detection of Pork and Wild Boar Using Mitochondrial Gene Sequencing as a Biological Marker

This study focuses on developing a reliable molecular method to detect the presence of pork and wild boar in food products through mitochondrial gene sequencing. The approach utilizes specific mitochondrial DNA markers that can accurately differentiate between pig species and other animals, even in processed or mixed food samples. By providing a sensitive and precise detection system, this method supports the verification of halal status in food products, ensuring transparency, consumer trust, and compliance with halal certification standards.
