A VERY SENSITIVE METHOD FOR ASSAYING PROTEOLYTIC ACTIVITIES IN BEER

Abstract
A very sensitive method for assaying chillproofing enzymes in beer is described using denatured 125I-labelled human serum albumin as a substrate (40°C, pH 6.0 and 30 min reaction time). Less than 0.1 ug of papain in 1 ml of beer has been determined by this method. The results achieved by the proposed method were in good correlation with immunochemical and ‘hide power azure’ (HPA) methods.
