CDR FoodLab® is the chemical analyzer for quality and process control that allows you to determine a wide range of parameters of many foods, animal feeds and pet foods.

Peroxidase test in milk

The persistence of lacto-peroxidase activity in pasteurized milk provides a good indication of the quality of a product, because only a raw milk of good microbiological quality can be put through a mild pasteurization process in order to not inactivate this enzyme. Traditional methods are often qualitative (present/not present) and thus able only to indicate whether the thermal process has been performed.

Quantifying lacto-peroxidase in pasteurized milk enables instead to determine the nutritional quality of milk. Higher value of peroxidase means that the milk has preserved its original characteristics.

Method

Test type: End Point.

Testing time: 10 minutes.

Analysis sessions with multiple samples are possible up to a maximum of 16 tests for CDR FoodLab® and 3 tests for CDR FoodLab® Junior.

Sample treatment

Use milk as is.

Principle of the test

In presence of an indicator and hydrogen peroxide, milk peroxidase catalyzes forming a red compound with an intensity that is directly proportional to the concentration of peroxidase in the sample when measured at 505 nm. CDR’s innovative method enables to easily and quickly quantify lacto-peroxidase in milk.

Calibration curve

The quantitative determination of peroxidase is an innovative test and it is therefore not easy to find samples that can be used as reference or official reference methods. Thus, CDR’s laboratories carried out several test, using CDR FoodLab®’s method, on samples of different manufacturers and compared the resulting values with those specified in the technical data sheet of the Reflectoquant® reflectometric method. The results compared well.
