Abstract

A process is presented for producing a stable carboxylesterase in dry form wherein a saccharide selected from maltose, maltotriose, maltotetrose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, maltoheptaose and maltitol is added to the solution of carboxylesterase to be spray dried. The dry enzyme composition is added to food and drink (e.g., bread, brewed seasonings, liquors, processed meat products) during the production process to thereby impart thereto a good aroma (ester aromas).
