8. Tests for milk

  • Tests for the determination of antibiotics in milk

Antibiotic residues are a major problem for the dairy industry because they can inhibit the starter cultures during the manufacture of yogurt and cheese, causing significant losses to dairy companies. The consequences for human health are equally important and much more serious. Residues can lead to antibiotic resistance, allergies and hypersensitivity. It is very important for dairy companies to have a test available in order to detect antibiotics in the milk they receive, which could inhibit the starter cultures used in milk processing and can have a negative influence on human health.

  • Alkaline phosphatase tests

Rapid tests for alkaline phosphatase are based on the determination of alkaline phosphatase activity which is completely inactivated at a correct heat treatment in the pasteurization process (70 ̊C for 10 sec. or 63 ̊C for 30 min.). The reaction results in the change of color.

PALSGAARD A/S DENMARK is the only company in the field of emulsifiers and stabilizers that provides complete services, creating ingredients with specialized performance characteristics. Emulsifiers and stabilizers allow processed foods to behave in ways that were impossible in earlier times.
