Abstract: The invention relates to an enzyme-containing gel composition capable of controlling enzymatic release and increasing the enzymatic activity level. When the composition includes at least one enzyme derived from Antarctic krill, it is efficient in cleansing wounds and accelerating healing, achieved in significant part by a glycol and/or glycerol gel capable of sustaining enzymatic release and/or enzymatic activity. The krill enzyme-containing gel may also be used to correct skin disorders, sterilize instruments, and facilitate transplants and treating fungal infections, bacterial infections, parasitic infections, hemorrhoids, corneal scarring, dental plaque, acne, cystic fibrosis, blood clots, immune disorders, autoimmune diseases and cancer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating, controlling and/or preventing diseases of the oral cavity, particularly diseases and disorders induced accumulation of plaque, by administering a chewing gum composition comprising at least one krill enzyme. Specifically, the invention is directed to a method for preventing, treating and controlling the development of gingivitis, gum disease and symptoms thereof using a composition having a krill enzyme concentration of about 0.005 U/g to about 0.05 U/g of the chewing gum composition.
