Objective To explore the factors affecting protease activity in raw milk. Methods Used raw milk and milk samples before and after different processing techniques as samples, acid, alkali and neutral protease activities were determined based on the Folin phenol method. The effects of different regions, seasons, ranch temperatures, somatic cell numbers, number of psychrophilic bacteria, and behavioral stress on protease activity in milk samples were analyzed at the ranch and process levels, and the effects of different processing techniques on product protease activity were analyzed. Results The contribution rate of protease activity changes at the ranch level was in the following order: Season (resulting in temperature changes)>highest temperature on the ranch>region>number of psychrophilic bacteria>number of somatic cells. In the comparison of protease inactivation rates under different treatment processes, the 4 treatment processes had the following order of protease inactivation rate: Ultra-high temperature treated (UHT) preheating treatment (90 ℃, 5 s)>pre heat treatment before sterilization (70 ℃, 5 s)>reverse osmosis (RO)>centrifugal sterilization. Conclusion The main influencing factor at the ranch level is the seasonal temperature changes that affect protease activity, simultaneously using preheating treatment before sterilization at the process level can achieve a protease inactivation rate of over 50%.
