Abstract: Provided is a process for producing an enzyme-containing bio-gel from an enzyme solution, particularly a commercial ?-amylase solution. When allowed to stand in a vessel, enzyme from the enzyme solution collects on the inside surface of the vessel, thus forming a bio-gel. The bio-gel is recovered by removing the enzyme solution, then collecting, and optionally drying, the material deposited on the inner surface of the vessel. A bio-gel produced by this process is also provided.
