Development of Hydrolysis Probe-Based qPCR Assays for <i>Panax ginseng</i> and <i>Panax quinquefolius</i> for Detection of Adulteration in Ginseng Herbal Products

Authentication of <i>Panax ginseng</i> and <i>Panax quinquefolius</i> products is important to be able to mitigate instances of adulteration and substitution that exist within the international supply chain of ginseng. To address this issue, species-specific hydrolysis probe...
