摘要:
The invention provides small enzyme-containing granules having an inorganic salt core and an enzyme-containing layer coated over the core, and methods for producing such granules. The majority of the enzyme granules are less than 300 μm in diameter. The granules are suitable for incorporation into compositions such as cleaning, textile processing, and animal feed compositions.
摘要:
A stable, durable granule for feed compositions has a core, at least one active agent; and at least one coating. The active agent of the granule retains at least 50% activity, at least 60% activity, at least 70% activity, at least 80% activity after conditions selected from one or more of a) a feed pelleting process, b) a steam-heated feed pretreatment process, c) storage, d) storage as an ingredient in an unpelleted mixture, and e) storage as an ingredient in a feed base mix or a feed premix comprising at least one compound selected from trace minerals, organic acids, reducing sugars, vitamins, choline chloride, and compounds which result in an acidic or a basic feed base mix or feed premix.
摘要:
The present teachings provide ways of improving the distribution of high payload enzyme granules by reducing their size, and by mixing them with size-matched dummy particles containing sodium sulfate. The present teachings also provide methods of using the mixtures.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates to particulate compositions and methods for making the compositions. It specifically relates to improved spray drying methods that substantially reduce the production of small particles that pose industrial hygiene concerns for factory workers and product consumers. In a composition aspect, the present invention provides an atomized aqueous composition. The composition is formed using a spray-drying apparatus. It includes 0.001 to 0.10 weight percent of a polymer, which is selected from a group consisting of a cellulose-based polymer, a gum, and a synthetic polymer. It further includes at least one polypeptide, which is present in the aqueous composition at a concentration greater than 0.01 weight percent.

The present invention provides highly impact-resistant, water-soluble or water dispersible, low-dust granules comprising an active ingredient and methods for obtaining the same.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising high molecular weight polymers, particularly polyethylene oxide polymers, wherein the high molecular weight polymer serves as an anti-misting agent to reduce the potential of aerosol generation from a composition when used in a desired environment. The invention further relates to methods of decreasing enzyme exposure from a personal care or cleaning product comprising a high molecular weight polymer.
摘要:
Granules that include a protein core are described. The protein core includes a protein matrix which includes a protein mixed together with a starch. The protein matrix can be layered over a seed particle or the protein core can be homogeneous. The protein can be an enzyme or a therapeutic protein.

摘要:
There is provided a process for the extraction of water soluble biomaterials such as enzymes or proteins into carbon dioxide utilizing certain carbon dioxide-soluble surfactants. Also provided are certain carbon dioxide-soluble surfactants useful in the extraction of proteins. The surfactants are selected from fluoroether sulfate, fluoroether-polyethylene glycol block copolymer, fluoroether-functional sorbitol, and fluoroether dithiocarbamate chelate.
摘要:
A granular enzyme composition is produced having reduced tendency to form dust and leave a residue, and improved stability and delayed release characteristics. The composition has a core, optionally coated with a vinyl polymer, a layer containing an enzyme and a vinyl polymer and optionally a plasticizer or anti-agglomeration agent, and an outer coating containing a polymer and optionally a low residue pigment and/or lubricant. Preferably, the core is a salt or sugar nonpareil, the vinyl polymer coating the core is polyvinyl alcohol and most preferably partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol, the vinyl polymer in the enzyme layer is polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and the polymer of the outer coating is polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol which may be partially hydrolyzed, polyethylene glycol or mixtures thereof such as a mixture of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyvinyl alcohol or a mixture of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyethylene glycol. Preferably, the pigment is titanium dioxide and the lubricant is a nonionic or anionic surfactant such as a linear primary alcohol of a 9-15 carbon atom chain length alkane or alkene or an ethoxylate or ethoxysulfate derivative thereof. The enzyme can be a protease, amylase, lipase, cellulase, xylanase, oxidase, peroxidase or mixtures thereof. The composition may be produced by spray coating in a fluidized bed a solution of the enzyme and vinyl polymer onto the core to form the enzyme layer, and then spray coating in a fluidized bed a solution of polymer on the enzyme layer to form the outer coating.
