Glass transition and thermal stability of lactase in low-moisture amorphous polymeric matrices

The thermal stability of a commercial preparation of neutral lactase (β-galactosidase) in low-moisture amorphous polymeric matrices of maltodextrin (MD dextrose equivalent (D.E.) = 10.9) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP; MW 40 000) stored at various temperatures (T) was studied. The main objective was...
