Enzyme composition for treating dental plaque and plaque bacterial biofilms, and for the natural whitening of tooth enamel

Abstract

An oral health enzyme complex for use in treating dental plaque and dental plaque bacterial biofilms and for the natural whitening of enamel, the complex including a combination of the following compounds a sucrase enzyme, in particular capable of hydrolysing the P-2,6 and/or P-2, I bonds of sucrose; a mixture of glucanohydrolase enzymes comprising a mutanase having exolytic activity and obtained from a fungus, and a mutanase having endolytic activity and obtained from a bacterium, in particular capable of hydrolysing (1-3)-a-D-glucans and (1-6)-a-D-glucans; a glycoside hydrolase enzyme, in particular capable of hydrolysing the (1-6)-a-D glycosidic bonds of monosaccharide dimers and trimers; an oxide reductase enzyme, in particular capable of forming hydrogen peroxide from glucose and monosaccharide monomers; a peroxidase enzyme, in particular capable of converting thiocyanate into hypothiocyanate in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
