Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) Test for Pasteurized Milk

 

The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme normally present in raw milk and it is inactivated in conditions of heat treatment. The temperature of inactivation of ALP is slightly higher than that required for the destruction of pathogenic bacteria. So the ALP test in pasteurized milk is used to verify if the heating process of pasteurization is done correctly. Recently, The U.S. and EU public health limit for alkaline phosphatase in pasteurized milk is below 350 mU/liter by using fluorescent detection method. So far, this method is the most effective and reliable method. The assay uses specific enzyme-coupled reactions to produce fluorescent product. The fluorescence intensity at ex/em = 360/460nm is directly proportional to ALP concentration in the sample. The handheld fluorometer has internal temperature control, which controls the reaction at a constant temperature, allowing the system to provide reliable and rapid results within 20 minutes.
