ABSTRACT

During the past few years the Committee on Enzyme Nomenclature of the Manufacturing Section of the American Dairy Science Association has collected data on numerous enzymes in bovine milk. At least 20 enzymes have been either purified or isolated from milk or definitely identified to be native constituents of milk. However, nomenclature is not uniform; neither does there exist any uniformity among the assay procedures, substrates used, or units expressed concerning the same enzyme by various workers.

All major data concerning these enzymes have been compiled and consolidated in tabular form for convenient referral by future researchers. Also, attempts have been made to discuss the physiological as well as technological significance of these enzymes.

Besides these 20 enzymes, several workers have detected the activity of 15 other enzymes in milk. However, since only a limited amount of information is available regarding them and it has not been established that they are inherently present in bovine milk, these additional enzymes and their references have been listed only.
