Abstract
A stable dextranase-containing oral composition having a good feeling upon use is disclosed which comprises a dextranase enzyme produced by the genus Chaetomium, one of fungi, and a stabilizing amount of an admixture comprising water-soluble salts of alkyl sulfates having 10, 12, 14, and 16 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain in the following proportion: ______________________________________ C.sub.10 --alkyl sulfate salt 0-20%, C.sub.12 --alkyl sulfate salt 50-80%, C.sub.14 --alkyl sulfate salt 10-30%, and C.sub.16 --alkyl sulfate salt 0-15%, ______________________________________ based on the weight of the admixture.
