ISO 8870 | IDF 83: 2006 - Milk and milk-based products - Detection of thermonuclease produced by coagulase-positive staphylococci

Publication description

This standard specifies a method for the detection of heat-stable DNase (thermonuclease) produced by coagulase-positive staphylococci in milk and milk-based products. The enzyme can be used as an indicator that staphylococcal growth has reached hazardous levels and reveal the potential presence of staphylococcal enterotoxins.
