Calculation

                                            Vol. of alkali consumed x Strength of alkali

Enzyme Activity meq./min./g sample = ------------------------------------------          

 Wt of sample (g) x Time in min.

 

• The enzyme activity = The amount of enzyme which releases one milliequivalent of free fatty acid / minute / g of sample.

• Specific activity = Milliequivalents of free fatty acid /min./mg protein
