Extract

A method is described for the quantitative determination of phosphatase in raw milk. Using this method, it has been found that phosphatase is sufficiently thermolabile to be destroyed completely by pasteurisation if this process is properly carried out. The absence of phosphatase from a sample of milk or cream indicates with a fair degree of certainty that the milk or cream has been heated sufficiently to destroy such pathogenic organisms as were originally present, though it is of course no guarantee that the product is free from these organisms at the time of testing.

A simple, qualitative test-tube method is described which may be used for differentiating between raw and heated milk, or between raw and heated cream, and which with slight modifications may also be used for distinguishing between butters made from raw or from heated cream.
