Can you do DNA extraction with strawberries without protease?

So we just finished the practical and tried it your way seebee

We got the see the DNA layer really nicely but were unable to still pick up anything.

Thanks for the help everyone I'm just glad it's over now. Unironically was thinking about this all day despite all the other things that need to be done

It'll be the heating
Get it cold, we ice bath during the squashing with the detergent to get the DNA as cold and condensed as possible
