摘要:
The present invention relates to formulations of gelled lysozyme achieved by the addition of water to a lysozyme suspension in a solvent, such as an alcohol, with retention of enzymatic activity. It was surprisingly discovered that lysozyme itself is a gelling substance (self-gel) and, therefore, it can be advantageously formulated into topical compositions without the addition of other gelling substances such as cellulose, starch or other polysaccharides. The activity of the lysozyme is enhanced as compared to other formulations of comprising lysozyme. The formulations contained in the present invention are useful in methods in the fields of therapeutics, disinfectants, sanitizers, personal hygiene, and cosmetics for human and veterinary use.
