A research on the presence of genetically modified organisms in honey

Gen derived from the Greek word that comes from Genos meaning from the beginning. Genes are the units that encode the characteristics of living thing from generation to generation is located within the DNA helix genes that determine life (size, color, disease resistance such as high efficiency). It has been discussed for a long time that possible negative effects of GMO products on human health and the environment, obtained new properties that was impossible to get through natural processes used by gene technology and enabled to transfer a gene from one species to another species or to intervene in the present genetic structure. Since the launch in 1996 various discussions are continuing on the production and placing on the market. Worldwide increased acreage would be used widely in the future of genetically modified crops is very interesting and if this situation. Genetically modified organisms in our country as well as over the word is also very current and new housing. Continuing the subject of health services is of great importance to know the professionals think. Materials: In our study, we examined for GMO in 20 packaged and 20 unpackaged honey samples. While the packaged ones were of different brands, unpackaged ones were collected as samples. The samples were collected in a sterile container and conveyed to laboratory for analysis. Methods: DNA isolation was carried out taking 1 each table spoon from the samples. The isolated DNA's were studied on with Roche 480 II Real time PCR device. A control test was carried out in order to evaluate the test performance. Objective: This study was to investigate the presence of GMOs in honey produced in our country is intended to determine if the level detected. Key Words: Genetically Modified, GMO, honey
