Rapid Peroxidase Test

Verifying Pasteurization Effectiveness with Alkaline Phosphatase Testing

The Rapid Peroxidase Test is a vital tool in assessing the quality and heat treatment of dairy products, particularly milk. Peroxidase is an enzyme naturally present in raw milk, and its detection helps verify the adequacy of pasteurization. Proper pasteurization destroys peroxidase, ensuring the milk has been sufficiently treated to eliminate harmful bacteria and extend shelf life. This test is ideal for confirming that dairy products meet safety standards and ensuring the quality of milk used in processing.

By quickly identifying any residual peroxidase, producers can be confident in the safety and quality of their dairy products, minimizing the risk of contamination and ensuring compliance with food safety regulations.
