QUESTION #5869
Question 1
Which enzyme in raw milk is responsible for the hydrolysis of fat and is inactivated during pasteurization?
Correct Answer Explanation
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the native milk lipase responsible for lipolysis in raw milk. It is inactivated during pasteurization at \(72^{\circ}\text{C}\) for \(15\) seconds. Alkaline phosphatase is used as an indicator of pasteurization efficacy, not as a lipolytic enzyme.
