The product of the lactoperoxidase system (LPOS) has been developed as a preservative agent to inhibit foodborne bacteria, but its action was, heretofore, limited to several original compounds in milk. This research was conducted to analyze the application of the lactoperoxidase system against in fresh bovine milk and its derivative products to determine the strength of antibacterial activity. Lactoperoxidase was purified from bovine whey using the SP Sepharose Big Beads Column. The enzymatic reaction involving lactoperoxidase, thiocyanate, and hydrogen peroxide was used to generate the antibacterial agent from LPOS. This solution was then added to milk, skimmed milk, untreated whey, reduced-LPO whey, reduced-lactose whey, and high-lactose solution containing at an initial count of 6.0 log CFU/mL. LPOS showed the greatest reduction of bacteria (1.68 ± 0.1 log CFU/mL) in the reduced-lactose whey among the products tested. This result may lead to a method for enhancement of the antimicrobial activity of LPOS in milk and derived products.

In this work, we have adopted an easy route to synthesizing bis-1,2,3-triazole-based benzophenone compounds via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction (Click Chemistry). All the target compounds achieved better yields though the microwave-assisted method than the conventional method. Target compounds structure were confirmed based on the IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HR Mass analysis.
