    PCR can be used in the food industry to detect authentic sources through three main steps: 1. The DNA from a sample is placed in a PCR mixture containing primers, nucleotides, DNA polymerase, and buffer solution. 2. The mixture undergoes repeated heating and cooling cycles in a thermocycler, causing the DNA to denature, primers to anneal, and new DNA strands to extend. 3. This amplification process allows scientists to detect even trace amounts of DNA from food sources and identify contamination or adulteration.
