  • Stabilised dry protein deamidase composition
    Patent number: 11685914
    Abstract: A technique of using a compositional innovation of a dry enzyme composition to improve the stability of a protein deamidase composition enables improvement of the stability of a dry protein deamidase composition by making both a protein deamidase and magnesium chloride coexist in a dry enzyme composition. The technique involves making adjustments so that the pH is at least 2 and less than 5 when the composition is dissolved in water at a concentration of 1 w/v %.
