Advances in Analysis of Milk Proteases Activity at Surfaces and in a Volume by Acoustic Methods

This review is focused on the application of surface and volume-sensitive acoustic methods for the detection of milk proteases such as trypsin and plasmin. While trypsin is an important protein of human milk, plasmin is a protease that plays an important role in the quality of bovine, sheep and goat...
