Milk and milk-based drinks — Determination of alkaline phosphatase activity — Enzymatic photo-activated system (EPAS) method

Lait et boissons à base de lait — Détermination de l'activité de la phosphatase alcaline — Méthode par un système de photoactivation enzymatique

Abstract / scope

ISO 22160|IDF 209:2007 specifies a method for the determination of the alkaline phosphatase activity in pasteurized whole milk, semi-skimmed milk, skimmed milk, cream and flavoured milks using a chemiluminescent (EPAS) method.

The method is applicable to milk and milk-based drinks from cows, sheep, buffalo and goats.

The method is also suitable for any liquid-based sample if diluted in such a way that the diluted alkaline phosphatase activity has less than 7 000 milliunits per litre.
