Abstract: A storage stable liquid enzyme concentrate of Subtilisin Carlsberg containing 0.5-6.5 Anson Units of proteinase per gram of concentrate and method for preparing same. Solid form proteinase is extracted with 70-100 parts by volume propylene glycol, 30-0 parts by volume of water, then adjusted as necessary to 60-85% by wt. of the glycol. Stabilizing agents in the concentrate are 0.1-1 mol/Kg of a member selected from the group consisting of Na, K, and Ca glutamates, and glycinates, and acetamide, and also a calcium ion content of 0.04-0.5% by wt., pH range is 5-8.

Abstract: A liquid enzyme concentrate containing the alpha-amylase from Bacillus licheniformis and optionally a proteinase dissolved in 40-95% by weight propylene glycol 1,2 balance water, at pH 5-9, the enzyme activity being 10-1000 KNU/g of concentrate.Proteinase may be present in activity of 0.5-6.5 Anson units/g of concentrate. Subtilisin Carlsberg is a preferred proteinase, and in such instance, appropriate stabilizers for the proteinase are included in the concentrate.
