| 摘要 |
The invention is an animal chew which contains one or more enzymes and substrate for the purpose of generating antimicrobial compounds upon contact with an animal's saliva. The animal chew, made of rawhide, biscuit or dried animal food is provided with an oxidoreductase enzyme and substrate; such as, for example, glucose oxidase and glucose, which produces hydrogen peroxide upon being chewed. A catalase may be provided to stabilize the system and prevent premature activation of the enzyme/substrate system. A peroxidase and halide or pseudohalide ion combination may be provided to enhance the antimicrobial effect of the invention. |
