Abstract

A sensitive quantitative reversed-phase HPLC method is described for measuring bacterial proteolysis and proteinase activity in UHT milk. The analysis is performed on a TCA filtrate of the milk. The optimum concentration of TCA was found to be 4%; at lower concentrations, non-precipitated protein blocked the HPLC while higher concentrations yielded lower amounts of peptides. The method showed greater sensitivity and reproducibility than a fluorescamine-based method. Quantification of the HPLC method was achieved by use of an external dipeptide standard or a standard proteinase.
