Abstract
Two methods based on the activity of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase and lactoperoxidase are developed for assessing the efficiency of heat treatment of milk at 80°C for 15s. Heat treatment of milk at 80°C (15s) completely inactivates both milk enzymes. Under the selected assay conditions, enzyme activities are related with intensity of pink colour of product. In contrast to raw (unheated) milk which gives pink colour under the test conditions, heated milk (80°C, 15s) remains either white or gives pink colour with significantly reduced intensity. It is recommended to always use raw milk as positive control for the enzyme assay. Principles of colour formation in enzymatic reactions are discussed.
