Abstract
Enzyme products are disclosed. The enzyme products include an enzyme-bearing matrix formed by subjecting a feedstock containing enzyme(s) and carrier materials to conditions which alter the physical and/or chemical structure of the carrier. The matrix suspends the enzyme for protection, delivery, dispersion and activation at the desired time and under selected conditions. Methods of producing the enzyme carrying matrix and enhanced enzyme products are also disclosed.
Claims34
An enzyme product comprising a non-fibrous enzyme-bearing matrix formed by subjecting a feedstock comprising said enzyme and a solid carrier material capable of being flash flow processed to form said enzyme-bearing matrix to flash flow processing conditions which alter the physical and/or chemical structure of said carrier to form said enzyme-bearing matrix for delivery of said enzyme by said product.
An enzyme product comprising a non-therapeutic enzyme-bearing matrix formed by subjecting a feedstock comprising said enzyme and a solid carrier material capable of being flash flow processed to form said enzyme-bearing matrix to flash flow processing conditions which alter the physical and/or chemical structure of said carrier to form said enzyme-bearing matrix for delivery of said enzyme from said product.
