A detailed kinetic study of alkaline phosphatase; lactoperoxidase and beta
-lactoglobulin was carried out in the context of identifying intrinsic time
-temperature indicators for controlling the heat processing of milk. The he
at inactivation or denaturation of alkaline phosphatase, lactoperoxidase an
d beta -lactoglobulin under isothermal conditions was found to follow first
order kinetics. Experimental results were analysed using both a two step l
inear regression and a one step non-linear regression method. Results obtai
ned using the two statistical techniques were comparable, but the 95% confi
dence interval for the predicted values was smaller when the one step non-l
inear regression method was used, indicating its superiority for estimating
kinetic parameters. Thermal inactivation of alkaline phosphatase and lacto
peroxidase was characterized by z values of 5.3 deg C (D-60 degreesC = 24.6
min) and 4.3 deg C (D-71 degreesC = 38.6 min) respectively. For the denatu
ration of beta -lactoglobulin we found z values of 7.9 deg C (D-75 degreesC
= 49.9 min) in the temperature range 70-80 degreesC and 24.2 deg C (D-85 d
egreesC = 3.53 min) in the range 83-95 degreesC. D-ref and z were evaluated
under dynamic temperature conditions. To estimate the statistical accuracy
of the parameters, 90 % joint confidence regions were constructed.
