Abstract

The present invention provides methods and compositions comprising at least one glucose oxidase enzyme, wherein the glucose oxidase has improved storage stability. In some preferred embodiments, the glucose oxidase enzyme is stable after exposure to elevated temperatures. In some alternative preferred embodiments, the glucose oxidase has improved storage stability in liquid formulations. In some particularly preferred embodiments, the present invention provides methods and compositions comprising glucose oxidase(s) obtained from Aspergillus sp. In some more particularly preferred embodiments, the glucose oxidase is obtained from A. niger. The present invention finds use in applications involving cleaning, including personal care applications.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A composition comprising at least one glucose oxidase, and at least one or two storage stability enhancing compounds. 
     
     
         2 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one or two storage stability enhancing compounds is chosen from gluconate, metabisulfite, ascorbate, glucose, and tetra potassium pyrophosphate. 
     
     
         3 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said storage stability enhancing compound comprises a solution of 18.5% sodium chloride, 1.3% monosodium phosphate dihydrate, 2.5% trisodium citrate dehydrate, and at least one further storage enhancing compound chosen from tetra potassium pyrophosphate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium tartrate and tetra sodium pyrophosphate. 
     
     
         4 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition retains at least about 15% of its initial activity after about 10 weeks of storage at about 40° C. 
     
     
         5 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition retains at least about 30% of its initial activity after about 10 weeks of storage at about 40° C. 
     
     
         6 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition is retains at least about 50% of its initial activity after about 10 weeks of storage at about 40° C. 
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition retains at least about 70% of its initial activity after about 10 weeks of storage at about 40° C. 
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition is a personal care composition. 
     
     
         9 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition is stable after storage at a pH range of about 5.0 to about 7. 
     
     
         10 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition is stable after storage at about pH 7. 
     
     
         11 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition is stable after storage at a temperature ranging from about 4° C. to about 50° C. 
     
     
         12 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein said composition is stable after storage at a temperature ranging from less than about 4° C. to about 40° C. 
     
     
         13 . A method for stabilizing glucose oxidase in a composition comprising:
 a) providing glucose oxidase and at least one stability enhancing compound; and   b) combining said glucose oxidase and said at least one stability enhancing compound to produce a stabilized glucose oxidase composition.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein said at least one storage stability enhancing compound is chosen from gluconate, metabisulfite, ascorbate, and glucose. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein said composition comprises at least two storage stability enhancing compounds, wherein at least one of said storage stability enhancing compounds is selected from gluconate, metabisulfite, ascorbate, glucose, and tetra potassium pyrophosphate. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein said composition comprises a solution of 18.5% sodium chloride, 1.3% monosodium phosphate, dihydrate, and 2.5% trisodium citrate, dihydrate, and at least one additional storage stability enhancing compound chosen from tetra potassium pyrophosphate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium tartrate, and tetra sodium pyrophosphate. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein said composition is stable for about 10 weeks at about 40° C. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein said composition is a personal care composition.
