Peroxidase test in milk

The chemical analysis of the milk and dairy products for quality control for every stage of the production chain with CDR FoodLabCDR’s innovative method enables to easily and quickly quantify lactoperoxidase in milk. The test can be carried out on microscopic samples as is and requires the use of a pre-filled reagent in disposable cuvettes.

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 lactoperoxidase 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: one test 10 minutes
Are possible test sessions with several samples, up to a maximum of 16.
The system is supplied pre-calibrated and ready for use.

Principle of the test

H2O2 + indicator perossidasi red coloured indicator

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.

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.

Reagent test Kits

The reagents are packaged in foil pouches containing 10 tubes useful to perform 10 analyses.

This is the minimum package that allows the use of CDR systems even to those who need to make a few analyses, thus not wasting reagents.

There are also boxes of 100 tests, however, packaged in 10 bags of 10 tubes containing the reagent.

Code *300525: 100 tests

Code *300528: 20 tests

The reagents have a shelf-life of 12 months

With the CDR system, you can perform your tests in total autonomy

Neither skilled staff nor a dedicated external laboratory is needed to use our systems. CDR FoodLab® optimizes traditional testing methods, making them faster and easier, while guaranteeing accuracy standards in line with the reference methods.

Analytical kit

CDR FoodLab® Analysis Systems use disposable pre-vialed reagents specifically developed by the research laboratories of CDR. The use of pre-vialed reagents and the analytical procedures allow:

  • a sample preparation that is quick and easy, when needed at all;
  • making analytical procedures extremely fast and easy;
  • removing all needs for complex calibration procedures.

Reagents come in aluminum packages containing 10 test tubes each to perform 10 tests (or packages for 100 tests containing 10 single packages of 10 test tubes each).

Just a few steps and results are yielded right away

Just a few steps will suffice to carry out your analysis in a rapid way in total autonomy. The system is composed of both the analyzer based on photometric technology and a kit of low toxicity, pre-vialed reagents, developed by CDR.

CDR FoodLab® is cost-effective because it does not require the use of expensive equipment and does not entail maintenance, assistance or calibration costs.
