Gamma-Glutamyltransferase as a Marker for the Pasteurization of Raw Milk

Abstract: The degree and rate of inactivation of gamma-glutamyltransferase in raw cow's milk by heating at 50, 60, 70, and 80 degrees C for 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 min were measured to evaluate the suitability of this enzyme as a marker for the pasteurization of milk. The enzymes alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase were also measured under similar conditions for comparison. The patterns of heat inactivation of gamma-glutamyltransferase and alkaline phosphatase were similar, with only a minimal inac… Show more

“…ALP was the most heat-sensitive enzyme; it retained less than 10% activity after 5 min heat treatment at 65 o C. Complete inactivation was obtained by heating at 69 o C for 15 min (Fig. 3A) which is in good γ -Glutamyl transpeptidase measurement 561 agreement with Dos Anjos [5] who reports a complete loss of activity at 70 o C for 10 min. γ -GT was more heat-stable than ALP: it retained nearly 50% of enzyme activity after heating at 65 o C for 5 min, and 5% of residual activity after 10 min at 69 o C. Complete inactivation was obtained after 10 min at 71 o C or 1 min at 75 o C (Fig.…”

“…3B). Dos Anjos [5] reports a complete inactivation of γ -GT after 15 min heating at 70 o C. McKellar et al [16] and Zehetner et al [31] obtain a complete loss in γ -GT activity after 16 s at 77 o C or 15 s at 78-80 o C without any reactivation or variation in the activity after a storage period longer than 3 d at 4 o C. LPO was the most heat-stable enzyme. Complete inactivation was obtained after 1 min of holding time at 80 o C (Fig.…”

“…MCT-based formula is recommended in cholestatic infants because these patients show malabsorption of fatty acids, and MCTs are absorbed directly by intestinal mucosa, without requiring emulsification by bile acids (6 ). GGT is absent in milk formulas as a consequence of the usual pasteurization process (7 ). No GGT activity was detectable in a sample of the MCT formula used with our patients, and none of an age-and sex-matched control group of 10 noncholestatic infants fed with an MCT-based formula for malabsorption had hyperGGT.…”
