In-Depth Information
Finally, a formulation step is often required, to allow for use in the application and/or
to extend shelf life. Most often for food applications, the enzyme is formulated in the solid
state, although some liquid formulation examples can also be found. Tablets are a popular
form of delivery, as they can allow for homogenous blends of products and a consistent
dose delivered. Preservatives are used to control microbial growth in enzyme products.
Customer preferences have been evolving towards less preservative use, or at least more
natural preservatives.
