Jun 2, 2009 -- Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB: APDN), a provider of DNA security solutions, announced today that it has successfully marked over 500,000 pounds of raw cotton fiber with a naturally derived botanical marker called SigNature(R) DNA, as part of a pilot study conducted in collaboration with one of America's largest cotton growers. SigNature DNA was detected homogeneously throughout the various stages of cotton processing, before and after baling, right down to the single cotton fiber. The persistence and stability of the SigNature DNA marker ensured that it was successfully authenticated.
The inclusion of SigNature DNA at such a large scale is the largest deployment of a commercial DNA marker to date. This work is a complement to the tracking of cotton's native DNA in APDN's Biomaterial Genotyping platform, known as "FiberTyping." By authenticating native DNA, APDN ensures that a retail product contains the cotton claimed on the label. Native DNA can also be used to determine the cultivar, and hence the country, from which the original cotton was derived. SigNature DNA markers would allow a specific farmer of natural fibers, or a producer of synthetic fibers, to track specific batches of fiber through to finished textiles and apparel.
Jeff Elder, Chairman of Supima, who represent the growers of American pima cotton, stated: "We strive to assure quality products in a cost effective manner. Authentication of cotton fiber in finished products provides us with a leading edge in today's highly competitive global marketplace."
Annual business revenue stimulated by cotton in the US economy exceeds $120 billion, making cotton America's number one value-added crop (National Cotton Council). Cotton is the dominant fiber in apparel, having captured two-thirds of that market; cotton towels remain enormously popular with consumers; and 100 percent cotton sheets are regaining prominence in the market.
Cotton farmers are looking to grow and sell the highest quality cotton and also to protect their investments and reputations as raw cotton is converted to finished products, crossing borders and facing many potential opportunities for the substitution of lesser quality goods under a higher quality label.
More than 30% of the world's consumption of cotton fiber crosses international borders before processing, a larger share than for wheat, corn, soybeans or rice. Coupled with the complexity of today's international cotton trade, labels are removed from cotton bales during apparel manufacture, making it very difficult to trace the origin of the fibers.
Having access to SigNature DNA identification and authentication technologies will protect the original cotton fiber used throughout the cotton supply chain. SigNature will ensure continuity in the cotton fiber identity and protect textiles and garments from counterfeiting and fraud, which can create sub-standard products, that "appear" to be good quality, but often fail to perform after even a few launderings.
Dr. James Hayward, CEO of APDN, commented, "SigNature DNA is very versatile. It can be embedded into any fiber or polymeric raw material used in technical textile products. Medical textiles, protective clothing, performance clothing for work or outdoor activities, as well as nonwoven materials, can also benefit from SigNature DNA identification and authentication. SigNature markers can enable any manufacturer of synthetic fibers or any farmer of natural fibers to trace the inclusion of their fibers in retail goods."
SigNature DNA is fast becoming recognized by the textile and apparel industry not only for cotton, but a wide range of commercial and industrial textile applications. Based on the patented botanical, green technology employed by APDN, SigNature DNA can be used to mark raw fiber, yarn, woven and non-woven labels and even the garment itself. The flexibility and high specificity of SigNature DNA enable the manufacture of a practically unlimited variety of product markers. Every SKU in the world could potentially be uniquely marked.
About APDN
APDN sells patented DNA security solutions to protect products, brands and intellectual property from counterfeiting and diversion. SigNature DNA is a botanical mark used to authenticate products in a unique manner that essentially cannot be copied. APDN also provides BioMaterial GenoTyping(TM) by detecting genomic DNA in natural materials to authenticate finished products. Both technologies protect brands and products in a wide range of industries and provide a forensic chain of evidence that can be used to prosecute perpetrators.

Jun 2, 2009 -- UpLift Nutrition, Inc. (OTCBB: UPNT) announces ORAC value test score for EpiGaia (www.epigaia.com), its new genetically driven nutrient formula. EpiGaia's ORAC value weighs in at 16,450 units per daily serving (50 grams) - three times as powerful as pomegranate juice (ORAC of 5,250) and almost two times more powerful than Acai berry juice (ORAC of 9,200). It is over ten times more potent than juice made from Noni berries (ORAC of 856), Goji berries (ORAC of 706), and blueberries (ORAC of 1,600). This makes EpiGaia one of the most powerful antioxidant drink formulas on the market. It was tested by Brunswick Laboratories, an independent lab with a strong reputation for antioxidant analysis.
"The ORAC value represents the antioxidant power or free radical protection of a food or drink," says Jessica Rampton, Chief Science Officer at Uplift Nutrition. "Antioxidants protect us against cell-damaging free radicals from our body's normal inner processes and from pollution or harmful toxins that can lead to early aging and disease."
It is commonly recommended by health professionals that everyone consume a high amount of a wide variety of natural food antioxidants on a daily basis (at least 5,000 ORAC units per day).
Most nutritional drinks claim high antioxidant levels, but do not test or disclose actual ORAC value results. EpiGaia's test results are available to the public.
EpiGaia not only provides a remarkably high level of antioxidant power, but also offers a synergistic formula of over 40 whole food nutrients. According to Guohua (Howard) Cao, a physician and chemist who developed the ORAC assay, "It may be that combinations of nutrients found in foods have greater protective effects than each nutrient taken alone." Its wide array of nutrient and antioxidant sources is why EpiGaia is an effective holistic formula.
EpiGaia is the only ancestral-sourced whole food nutrient formula on the market - derived from mapping the migratory paths found in the human genome. These test results are another indicator of how our genetic ancestry can lead to optimal nutrition for us today.
UpLift Nutrition plans to officially begin selling EpiGaia to the public during the 3rd quarter of 2009.
