Abstract

No simple methods are used for the quantitative analysis of the protease activity in colored food up till now. Thus, this study aims to establish a new and simple method for the quantitative detection of protease activity, especially in colored food. The detection accuracy, detection limit, and repeatability of the casein plate method were analyzed. Then, the application of the casein plate method in sample detection and recovery was further evaluated. The results showed that the casein plate method for the quantitative detection of protease activity has high accuracy, high precision, and low detection limit. The recoveries of eight kinds of colored samples were in the range of 92.26–97.84%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was in the range of 3.56–10.88%. The results of the casein plate method exhibited high accuracy. This indicated that the method was suitable for the detection of colored samples. The casein plate method for the quantitative detection of protease activity is simple. The newly constructed casein plate method has broad potential application value in food industry, especially for the detection of dark food.
