302 Quantitative Catalase Activity Assay

Methods Type: Rapid Methods
Key data
Number: 302
Analyte: Catalase Activity Assay
Matrix: Wheat, Rye, Triticale, Oats, Barley, Corn and Cereals Derivatives
Year of Approval: 1998
Scope: The method was developed for wheat, rye, triticale, oats, barley and corn and is applicable for products out of the cereals. The advantage using an oxygen electrode is that no clear extracts are needed.
