<;p>;A method for preparation of urea-detecting strip and its use in qualitative detection of urea in milk is evolved. A paper strip is coated with enzyme for making detection urea specific. The qualitative detection can be achieved by dipping the strip and then placing on non-absorbent surface and then comparing colour of strip with standard colour chart.
