Abstract

The present invention concerns stabilized solid or liquid enzyme formulation comprising at least one enzyme and at least one single-cell protein.

Claims

1. A stabilized solid or liquid enzyme formulation comprising at least one enzyme and at least one single-cell protein.

2. The enzyme formulation according to claim 1 wherein the single-cell protein is obtained by fermentation.

3. The enzyme formulation according to claim 1, comprising the single-cell protein in an at least partially purified form or as biomass, which is obtained from the fermentation of a single-cell protein producing microorganism.

4. The enzyme formulation according to claim 3, wherein the single-cell protein is obtained from at least one microorganism selected from the group consisting of algae, yeast, fungi and/or bacteria.

5. The enzyme formulation according to claim 3, comprising the single-cell protein as homogenized biomass.

6. The enzyme formulation according to claim 1, wherein the single-cell protein comprises 40 to 90% (w/w) of protein.

7. The enzyme formulation according to claim 1, wherein the enzyme is selected from the group consisting of phytases and/or glycosidases.

8. The enzyme formulation according to claim 1, wherein the enzyme is selected from phytases, xylanases, endo-glucanases or mixtures thereof.

9. The enzyme formulation according to claim 1, wherein the enzyme is a phytase.

10. The enzyme formulation according to claim 1, wherein the formulation is a liquid.

11. The enzyme formulation according to claim 1, wherein the formulation is a solid.

12. The enzyme formulation according to claim 1, wherein the single-cell protein is present in a concentration of 0.01 to 30% (w/w) in the final formulation.

13. A method of preparing a feed composition for monogastric animals, comprising treating a feed with the stabilized solid or liquid enzyme formulation of claim 1.

14. A feed composition for monogastric animals, wherein the feed comprises the stabilized solid or liquid enzyme formulation of claim 1.

15. A food composition for human nutrition, wherein the food composition comprises the stabilized solid or liquid enzyme formulation of claim 1.

16. The enzyme formulation of claim 12, wherein the concentration is 0.05 to 20% (w/w).
