摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for the detection of essentially intact encapsulated or non-encapsulated parasites in meat, comprising the maceration of the meat with an alkaline digestion solution which contains a digestive enzyme that is active in an alkaline environment. Further, uses of a serine endopeptidase in a method for the detection of essentially intact encapsulated or non-encapsulated parasites in meat are described. The present invention also describes serine endopeptidases for use in a diagnostic method for the detection of essentially intact encapsulated or non-encapsulated parasites in meat. Finally, a kit is disclosed which comprises the enzymes and alkaline digestion solutions of the present invention. |
