Description
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme naturally present in all raw milks, which is used as an indicator of proper milk pasteurization. Complete pasteurization will inactivate the enzyme to below levels which are detectable by conventional methods.
Because the heat stability of ALP is greater than that of pathogens which may be present in milk, the enzyme serves as an indicator of product safety.
However, the failure to detect ALP activity does not guarantee that the product is pathogen free.
The current ALP rapid test strip is based on chemical reaction of ALP with its substrate to detect ALP activity in pasteurized milk. It is specific and accurate.
Advantages of the ALP Rapid Test Strip
- Ready to use test strip
- No extra instrument needed
- Applicable for pasteurized milk.
