Abstract: A method is disclosed for stabilizing a physiologically active peptide in a process of preparing a powder containing the physiologically active peptide by drying an aqueous liquid containing the physiologically active peptide, wherein the method comprises adding to the aqueous liquid at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a nonionic surfactant, a water-soluble, nonionic, organic binder, hydrogenated lecithin, and mannitol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to transglutaminases and transglutaminase preparations obtained from lower fungi belonging to the class Oomycetes and unprecedented high-level expression is achievable by growing these coenocytium forming organisms, especially the strains Pythium sp., Pythium irregulare, Pythium dissotocum, Pythium periilum (or P. periplocum), Pythium torulosum, Pythium ultimum, Pythium aphanidermatum, Phytophthora cactorum, Phytophthora palmivora, Phytophthora porri, Phytophthora infestans, Phytophthora megasperma, Phytophthora cinnamomi and Phytophthora cryptogea; and a recombinant transglutaminase has been cloned and expressed, the enzyme and enzyme preparations being useful for cross-linking proteins, e.g. in flour, baked products, meat products, fish products, cosmetics, cheese, milk products, gelled food products and leather finishing, or as a glutaminase, e.g. in bread and other baked glutein-containing food products.
