In the food industry, it is very important to take care of the quality, safety and organoleptic properties of the products supplied. For this reason, food must be checked. However, not all information can be found using conventional techniques such as immunoassays, chromatographic techniques, etc. DNA-based techniques can be used for these cases where traditional procedures are insufficient. Among them, the best known technique is PCR. The aim of the thesis was to isolate DNA from vegetable samples (broccoli, beetroot, carrot and pepper). DNA was isolated using the magnetic particle method and the traditional CTAB method. Both methods were able to isolate the DNA from the vegetable samples in quality and at a concentration suitable for PCR, where the 35S rDNA gene region was amplified (more precisely about 700 bp of the 18S-ITS1-5,8S region). After amplification, the PCR products were subjected to restriction reactions and the results compared to bioinformatic analysis. These steps have succeeded in finding suitable enzymes for diferentiation of PCR products from the tested vegetable species.
