The best household cleaner to extract the most DNA strands
from a sample of kiwi fruit was the laundry detergent Ariel. A
non-ionic surfactant, Alkyl Ethoxylate Sulfate, present in its chemical
composition was very efficient in dissolving the protective lipid and
protein cell membrane. As a result, it allowed us to obtain an average of
0.73 g of DNA strands, from an initial sample of 30g, which is 2.2 times more compared to the least
efficient detergent - shampoo Fructis.
