◈ Thanks to the development of the kit to quickly identify the place-of-origin of pork, it is now possible to distinguish domestic and imported pork for all the parts of pork in just 5 minutes on the inspection site.
❍ Duration and cost of analysis were reduced while available parts of pork were expanded, compared to the previous analysis method
* (Duration of analysis) 4 days for a case in a laboratory → 5 minutes on the site
* (Cost of analysis) 400,000 won per case → 10,000 won for one kit (Every year, 300 million won can be saved)
* (Available parts) Only pork belly and neck → All the parts including rib, sirloin and tenderloin
※ Patent application: Identification of the place-of-origin of pork, by using the kit (Feb. 4, 2021)
