Definitions
- One of the ojects of the present invention is to provide dry-appearing, essentially non-dusting, flowable enzyme powders free of gummy, sticky and lumpy characteristics comprising a finely divided solid enzyme of the type used in the preparation of pre-soak and detergent washing products, namely, bacterial protease, bacterial amylase and mixtures of bacterial protease and bacterial amylase.
- a further object of the invention is to provide new and improved flowable enzyme powders of the type described by the use of readily available, inexpensive, non-toxic modifying ingredients.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a new and improved process for producing dry-appearing, essentially non-dusting, flowable enzyme powders of the type described. Other objects will appear hereinafter.
- a dry-appearing, essentially non-dusting, flowable enzyme powder free of gummy, sticky, and lumpy characteristics comprising a finely divided solid enzyme from the group consisting of bacterial protease, bacterial amylase and mixtures of bacterial protease and bacterial amylase with or without other ingredients, as, for example, calcium acetate monohydrate, sodium sulfite, sodium sulfate, sodium tripolyphosphate, calcium carbonate and monocalcium phosphate, is prepared by intimately mixing with said enzyme with or without said other ingredients a dust and moisture inhibiting substance in the form of petrolatum or petrolatum liquid, or mixtures of petrolatum and petrolatum liquid, in an amount suflicient to reduce the dusting characteristic and impart protection against moisture but insuflicient to produce gummy, sticky and lumpy characteristics and interfere with flowability.
- a dust and moisture inhibiting substance in the form of petrolatum or petrolatum liquid, or mixtures of petrolatum and petrolatum liquid, in an amount
- petrolatum and petrolatum liquid as used herein are defined in the Merck Index, 8th edition, page 800.
- a preferred type of petrolatum liquid is a mineral oil having a Sayboldt viscosity of 65/75 at F. (37.8 C.). The same product is available in a range of Saybolt viscosity of 48/52 to /155, as well as a viscosity of 180/190. Hence, a general range of viscosity is from 48 to 190.
- the petrolatum is a yellowish to light amber or white, semi-solid, unctuous jelly. Either or both of these types of substances and mixtures thereof are effective for the purpose of the invention.
- the amounts required are normally within the range of 1% to 10% of the weight of the enzymes and a preferred range is 3% to 8% by weight of the enzymes.
- the protease of the enzymes is defined in terms of PV units per gram for bacterial protease and DV units per gram for bacterial amylase.
- the PV activity of the bacterial protease will usually be within the range of 15,000 to 1,000,000 PV units per gram and the potency of the bacterial amylase will usually be within the range of 30 to 100,000 DV units per gram. In some enzyme compositions the amount of bacterial amylase is not significant.
- the dust and moisture inhibiting petrolatum and petrolatum liquid or mixtures thereof can be used to prepare non-dusting, flowable enzyme powders consisting essentially of the enzymes per se. They can also be used to prepare enzyme compositions which are essentially dryappearing, non-dusting and flowable and contain diluents such as, for example, calcium acetate monohydrate, sodium sulfite, sodium sulfate, sodium tripolyphosphate, calcium carbonate and monocalcium phosphate. In some cases other substances can be added for special purposes.
- the mixture was ground during and after the addition of the petrolatum and/or petrolatum liquid to a desired particle size, for example, a size sufficient to pass a 325 mesh sieve.
- teristics consisting essentially of a finely divided solid enzyme from the group consisting of bacterial protease, bacterial amylase and mixtures of bacterial protease and bacterial amylase, intimately mixed with a dust and moisture inhibiting substance from the group consisting of petrolatum, petrolatum liquid and mixtures thereof in an amount sufiicient to reduce the dusting characteristic and impart protection against moisture but insufiicient to produce gummy, sticky and lumpy characteristics and interfere with flowability.
- composition as claimed in claim 1 in which said dust and moisture inhibiting substance is petrolatum.
- a composition as claimed in claim 1 in which said dust and moisture inhibiting substance is petrolatum liquid.
- composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the percentage of said dust and moisture inhibiting substance is 1% to of the weight of said enzyme.
- composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the percentage of said dust and moisture inhibiting substance is 3% to 8% of the weight of said enzyme.
- composition as claimed in claim 1 in which said petrolatum is a mineral oil having a Saybolt viscosity within the range of 48 to 190 at 100 F.
- composition as claimed in claim 1 in which said enzyme comprises a bacterial protease having a PV activity within the range of 15,000 to 1,000,000 PV units per gram.
- composition as claimed in claim 1 in which said enzyme is a mixture of bacterial protease and bacterial amylase, the activity of said mixture being within the 100,000 DV units per gram.
- An enzyme composition as claimed in claim 1 consisting essentially of an enzyme from the group consisting of bacterial protease, bacterial amylase and mixtures of bacterial protease and bacterial amylase intimately mixed with 3% to 8% mineral oil.
- a process of preparing a dry-appearing, essentially non-dusting, flowable enzyme powder free of gummy, sticky and lumpy characteristics which consists essentially of intimately mixing a finely divided solid enzyme from the group consisting of bacterial protease, bacterial amylase and mixtures of bacterial protease and bacterial amylase with a dust and moisture inhibiting substance from the group consisting of petrolatum, petrolatum liquid, and mixtures thereof in an amount sufficient to reduce the dusting characteristic of the resultant product in its powder state and impart protection against moisture but insuflicient to interfere with flowability of said powder product.
