Variability of Alkaline Phosphatase in Goat Milk in Relation to its use as an Effective Index of Pasteurisation

Objective

The Food Standards Agency Scotland has undertaken a project to consider the feasibility of identifying unpasteurised milk in species other than cows: "Variabilty of alkaline phosphatase in goat and sheep milk in relation to its use as an effective index of pasteurisation". This work is targeted at reducing the potential threat to public safety associated with drinking inadequately processed goat and sheep milk.
