cycled thawing and freezing leads to a loss in activity of about 40% for each cycle | Allium sativum |
the partially purified enzyme can be stabilized over several months by addition of sodium chloride, sucrose, and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. The stabilized enzyme can be freeze-dried | Allium sativum |
