00:00It's a waste of food if it's going to taste bad because of the salmonella.
00:14The detection of bacteria was done by a technology developed by some researchers at UP Diliman.
00:20Come on, let's change the game!
00:23It's a waste of food if it's going to taste bad because of the salmonella.

00:33It's a waste of food if it's going to taste bad because of the salmonella.
00:38In a study, salmonella is the number one cause of food poisoning in the country.
00:44Last year alone, 42% or 13,000 cases of salmonella were reported in the Philippines.
00:51Aside from good cooking, early detection is also important.
00:58The gold standard for salmonella detection is 5-7 days.
01:03But our innovation today will make it faster to just 3 days.
01:09In 2021, the Department of Agriculture funded the Salmonella Lab Project
01:15headed by Dr. Wendell Rivera and Dr. Davin Adau of UP Institute of Biology.
01:21They decided to create a more efficient way to detect salmonella.
01:26That's the problem now with the meat and meat products here in the Philippines.
01:31There's no efficient method to check or detect the presence of salmonella.
01:38It's very important because it's the number one contaminant,
01:42a foodborne microorganism that causes foodborne disease.
01:47After 3 years of research work, they were able to create the LAMP assay,
01:52an efficient, accurate, and affordable salmonella detector.
01:57It comes with a die inside.
02:00After the reaction, it will be viewed under UV light with a positive result.
02:05More than 1,000 meat samples were used in the research to perfect the detector.
02:12Our original target is Hull Metro Manila.
02:15We will process the samples from the market.
02:19With the LAMP method, we were able to get a 100% detection rate.
02:23It all starts with getting a DNA sample of bacteria that has been there for 2 days.
02:29Once we get the DNA, we will put it in the LAMP assay.
02:33This is the heating process for our samples.
02:38After an hour, we will know if the salmonella is positive based on the color.
02:47As you can see, the color turned green.
02:50It means that from orange to green, the salmonella is positive.
02:55Using a blue LED light, the samples are also glowing.
03:01This is a game-changing innovation that will help food safety in the country.
