As a result of the unsuitability of microbiological techniques, milk pasteurisation efficacy is typically monitored by checking for the presence of alkaline phosphatase, which is denatured by pasteurisation. B. tuberculosis, the bacterium requiring the highest temperature to be killed of all milk pathogens is killed at similar ranges of temperature and time as those which denature alkaline phosphatase. For this reason, presence of alkaline phosphatase is deemed to be an ideal diagnostic tool for pasteurisation efficacy.
