Abstract:
The present compositions and methods relate to thermostabilization of phytase with inorganic phosphate and increasing the recovery of phytase during the production of heat-treated food or animal feed pellets that contain phytase. The phosphate is introduced to the solid composition. The phosphate and phytase are in functional proximity and at a molar ratio of at least 50:1. Multi-layered granules are taught.
Abstract:
The present teachings provide a method for coating particles containing thermally sensitive biologically active materials encapsulated by uniform thin protective moisture barrier coatings, and processes for applying such coatings efficiently, at ambient temperatures and with minimal agglomeration. The coating formulations can comprise dispersants, adhesion promoters, polymers, and plasticizers dissolved or dispersed in a non-flammable, low boiling point solvent such as methylene chloride that is delivered with an aerosol process to target particles. The present teachings also include the resulting particles.
Abstract:
Filtration processes and systems are provided for the separation of a filterable fluid stream by a filtration membrane module with uniform transmembrane pressure and flux along the membrane and internal control of membrane fouling via intermittent periodic reduction of the pressure differential between the permeate and retentate sides of the membrane and/or backwashing cycles during separation, recovery, and/or purification of proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, biologically produced polymers and other compounds or materials from aqueous fluids.
Abstract:
Described are compositions and methods relating to layered granules comprising a core surrounded by a coating layer containing bioactive agents distributed within a protectant matrix, wherein the protectant matrix includes at least one polyhydroxy compound and at least one phosphate compound. The core and the protectant matrix are water soluble and fast-dissolving.
Abstract:
Described are compositions and methods relating to enzyme-containing, hot-melt-prepared granules produced from a starting material that contains an amount of water sufficient to denature the enzyme under hot-melt processing conditions. The resulting granules are particularly useful in consumer and industrial products, such as detergent, animal feed, food, personal care and agricultural compositions.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is generally related to freezing point depressed solid matrix (FPDSM) systems, methods thereof and formulations thereof, wherein the FPDSM system stabilizes solid enzyme compositions thereof. In certain embodiments, the disclosure is related to methods for inhibiting the degradation of solid enzyme compositions formulated with one or more FPDSM systems of the disclosure.
Abstract:
Described are compositions and methods relating to low density enzyme-containing particles for inclusion in cleaning and other low-water compositions. The particles remain in suspension without settling, and release active enzyme upon dilution of the low-water compositions with water.
Abstract:
Described are compositions and methods relating to formulations and process conditions for stabilizing microorganisms for extended storage under ambient conditions without refrigeration, humidity control, or special packaging.
Abstract:
Described are compositions and methods relating to thermally-resistant wax matrix particles for enzyme encapsulation. The particles are well-suited for animal feed applications, particularly those involving steam pelleting.
Abstract:
Described are compositions and methods relating to delayed release enzyme formulations for bleach-containing detergents, and methods of use, thereof. The formulations are designed to promote the rapid release of a bleaching agent into a wash liquor and the delayed release of a protease, to reduce the undesirable effect that high concentrations of bleach have on protease activity. The compositions and methods have applications in, e.g. , laundry and dishwashing.
