In addition to qualitative analysis, foodstuffs can also be quantified through DNA-based methods. Molecular biology techniques are used to set up rapid and accurate responses which allow identification of the amount of specific contaminant DNA present in food products.
These methods are able to detect food fraud or processing errors coming from addition of cheaper or lower quality ingredient within mixed food preparation. This analysis can be done on raw materials and processed food .
For example, DNAVision Agrifood is able to quantify rapidly and precisely the proportion of pork contaminant in pure beef preparation.
