Recently, a method (Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-64108) has been developed in which a low-melting substance and an enzymatic agent are melted and coated using a salt and / or saccharide as a nucleating agent, and then a higher-melting substance is added. The low-melting substance used acts not only as a binder for the enzyme granules, but also as a coating agent and a masking agent, so that the drying step in the granulation operation can be omitted, and the production process of the enzyme granules can be significantly shortened. This prevented the inactivation of the enzyme.
