The enzyme-containing coatings seemed to persist drying at elevated temperatures for limited period of times. The period of time with no dramatic decrease in enzyme activity was substantial shorter than drying times in real industrial coating and printing processes (on condition that the web will be cooled down before reeling up). The coatings could also be stored in air at room temperature for long period of times without any loss in enzyme activity. |
