Abstract: Described are compositions and methods relating to thermally-resistant wax matrix particles for enzyme encapsulation. The particles are well-suited for animal feed applications, particularly those involving steam pelleting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a microbial composition having fermentation solids embedded in a matrix forming an evaporated suspension, characterized by the features of having: a non-hygroscopic matrix and fermentation solids at a ratio of at least 1:1 by weight; wherein the matrix has a moisture-regulating binder and a detackifier at a ratio of between 1:5 and 5:1 by weight and, optionally, not more than 75% by weight protective stabilizer; wherein the evaporated suspension has a water content of at least 1% and at most 30% water by weight when stored at a relative humidity of 50% and a temperature of 20° C. The present invention also relates to granules and methods for preparing a composition having fermentation solids embedded in a matrix to form an evaporated suspension.

Abstract: The present compositions and methods relate to thermostabilization of phytase with phosphate and increasing the recovery of phytase during the production of heat-treated food or animal feed pellets that contain phytase.

Abstract: Described are compositions and methods relating to enzyme-containing, hot-melt-prepared granules produced from a starting material that contains an amount of water sufficient to denature the enzyme under hot-melt processing conditions. The resulting granules are particularly useful in consumer and industrial products, such as detergent, animal feed, food, personal care and agricultural compositions.

Abstract: Described are compositions and methods relate to stable, high-payload, non-porous enzyme-containing coated granules with improved resistance to activity loss during steam pelleting.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are biocontrol compositions against plant fungal pathogens and methods of use thereof for the prevention or reduction of crop loss or food spoilage.

Abstract: Described are compositions and methods relating to formulations and process conditions for stabilizing microorganisms for extended storage under ambient conditions without refrigeration, humidity control, or special packaging.

Abstract: Described are compositions and methods relating to delayed release enzyme formulations for bleach-containing detergents, and methods of use, thereof. The formulations are designed to promote the rapid release of a bleaching agent into a wash liquor and the delayed release of a protease, to reduce the undesirable effect that high concentrations of bleach have on protease activity. The compositions and methods have applications in, e.g., laundry and dishwashing.

Abstract: The invention provides small enzyme-containing granules having an inorganic salt core and an enzyme-containing layer coated over the core, and methods for producing such granules. The majority of the enzyme granules are less than 300 ?m in diameter. The granules are suitable for incorporation into compositions such as cleaning, textile processing, and animal feed compositions.

Abstract: Described are stable, durable granules with active agents, which have consistently low internal water activity, and methods for making such granules. The granules are particularly suitable for inclusion in steam treatment processes, including pelleting and tableting processes and steam processing of feed, without appreciable loss of active agent activity.

Abstract: The present teachings provide ways of improving the distribution of high payload enzyme granules by reducing their size, and by mixing them with size-matched dummy particles containing sodium sulfate. The present teachings also provide methods of using the mixtures.

Abstract: A stable, durable granule for feed compositions has a core, at least one active agent; and at least one coating. The active agent of the granule retains at least 50% activity, at least 60% activity, at least 70% activity, at least 80% activity after conditions selected from one or more of a) a feed pelleting process, b) a steam-heated feed pretreatment process, c) storage, d) storage as an ingredient in an unpelleted mixture, and e) storage as an ingredient in a feed base mix or a feed premix comprising at least one compound selected from trace minerals, organic acids, reducing sugars, vitamins, choline chloride, and compounds which result in an acidic or a basic feed base mix or feed premix.
