Phosphatase-MILK (Order code 182250)

PASTEURIZATION TEST FOR DAIRIES
Modification of Scharer's Phosphatase method

Reagena offers a ready-to-use kit for quality control of the pasteurisation process. The test confirms that the pasteurisation process of dairy products has been adequate.

Phosphatase is an enzyme normally found in raw-milk. The enzyme is inactivated when pasteurisation is carried out correctly at 72 °C for 15 seconds. If the pasteurisation process fails or if pasteurised milk is contaminated with raw-milk, the phosphatase enzyme is active and it is detected by the test. The yellow colour formed by action of the active phosphatase in the sample is easily detectable by naked eye.
