GRANULATES CONTAINING ENZYMES FOR ANIMAL FOOD

摘要

The invention relates to novel granulates containing enzymes, which are suitable as animal food, in addition to a method for the production thereof. The invention also relates to the use of the granulates containing enzymes in animal food compositions and in particular, pellet-like animal food compositions, which are obtained using the granulate containing enzymes. The particles of the enzyme granulates comprise A) a core which contains enzymes having a water content of less than 15 wt. %, preferably, in the region of 1 - 12 wt. %, in particular, in the region of 3 - 10 wt. % and especially in the region of 5 - 9 wt. %, in relation to the weight of the core which contains the enzymes, which contains i) 50 96.9 wt. %, preferably, 55 94.85 wt.- % and, in particular, 60 89.7 wt. % of at least one solid carrier material which is suitable for animal food, ii) 0.1 - 10 wt. %, preferably, 0.15 - 5wt. %, in particular 0.2 - 2 wt.- % and especially 0.3 - 1 wt. %, of at least one neutral cellulose derivative which is water-soluble, iii) 3 49.9 wt. %, mainly 5 49.85 wt. %, in particular 10 44.8 wt. % and especially 10 39.7 wt. %, of at least one enzyme. The weight proportion of i), ii) and iii) is respectively relative in relation to the non-aqueous components of the core; and B) at least one hydrophobic coating is arranged on the surface of the core, which comprises at least one hydrophobic material selected from wax, saturated fatty acids, esters of saturated fatty acids, polyolefins and polyamides, in an amount of at least 70 wt. %, preferably, at least 80 wt. %, in particular at least 90 wt. % and especially at least 99 wt. %, in relation to the total weight of the coating.
