“…The role of metallic ions (e.g., magnesium acetate) in the reactivation of ALP has been the focus of several studies (Richardson et al, 1964;Kuzuya et al, 1982). The reported results suggest that Mg 2+ along with Zn 2+ are stimulatory to ALP activity reactivation, whereas Co 2+ , Cu 2+ , EDTA, and Sn 2+ may inhibit ALP reactiva-tion and reactivation depending on several factors such as the availability of free Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ions, heating and storage conditions, availability of phosphates, and pH conditions (Sharma and Ganguli, 1974;Linden et al, 1977;Linden, 1979;Fox and Kelly, 2006).…”
