Barcoding Melting Curve Analysis for Rapid, Sensitive, and Discriminating Authentication of Saffron (<i>Crocus sativus</i> L.) from Its Adulterants

<div>Melting curves of saffron and its adulterants. Saffron, 7 adulterants, and 1 : 1 mix of authentic saffron with adulterants were amplified in triplicate by the primer pair psbAF/trnHR and performed melting curve analysis by a real-time PCR system. Mixture means mix of saffron with the corresponding adulterant in one PCR reaction.</div>
