Formulation Notes
[Attributes table]
Raw Materials
Active matter: 20.4% ± 0.7%. Total enzyme loading: 3.25% (highest in chapter). Addition Order: Spray-dry slurry (60% solids, 280 °C); cool to < 30 °C. Post-add sequentially: protease first, then amylase, lipase, cellulase — 2 min between each. Add calcium acetate with first enzyme.
Safety Notes: Handle enzyme granules with dust control.
Expected Problems & Solutions: Protease autolysis: PVA-barrier granules; add protease last. Cellulase damage: alkaline cellulase only; loading ≤ 0.5%.QC Tests: Active matter (19.7–21.1%); each enzyme ≥ 80% at 12 weeks/30 °C.
Cost Notes: ~USD 0.90–1.15/kg.
