TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOLOGY - Preferred Composition: The composition comprises polyamide (0.1 - 99 wt. %); polyamide polymer (25 - 75 (preferably 50) wt. %). The enzyme composition has a shape that is a filament, flake, granule, nugget, bead and/or bar. The composition is an extruded product. At least one enzyme is uniformly distributed throughout the at least polyamide polymer. At least one enzyme is steam stable.Preferred Components: The enzyme is releasable from the composition upon re-hydrating of the enzyme composition, to perform catalytic activities. The enzyme is released within 30 minutes upon re-hydration. The enzyme is protease, esterase, xylanase, amylase, pectinase, isomerase, oxidase, beta-glucanase, cellulase, hemicellulase, lipase, phospholipase, redox enzyme, mannosidase, glucosidase, galactosidase, amindase, transamindase, phosphatase, fucosidase, phytase and/or glucosaminidase. The enzyme is a dried particulate enzyme. The enzyme is protectable or protected during a sterilization process. The at least one enzyme is water-soluble, water-dispersible, water-emulsifiable, water-extractable, or water-insoluble. The enzyme is a powder, prilled, granulated, micro-encapsulated, micro-crystalline, membrane bound, particulate adsorbed, and/or particulate grafted enzymes.Preferred Method: Step (a) is carried out at 70 - 100degreesC. The temperature of step (b) is 130 - 150degreesC until the diamine/diacid combination forms at least one salt acid/base complex, then the temperature is maintained at 175 - 210degreesC until the diamine/diacid combination forms a polymer, then the polymer is maintained at 180 - 190degreesC. The polymer is applied in a vacuum by maintaining the temperature 180 - 190degreesC. The vacuum of sufficient strength is applied for a sufficient time to remove any processing water from said polymer. The cooling of polymer involves: maintaining the polymer at 140 - 160degreesC until the centipose value of the polymer is 20,000 - 40,000; maintaining the polymer at 125 - 135degreesC until the polymer has a centipose value 50,000 - 100,000; and finally the polymer is maintained at 70 - 140degreesC. The method further involves forming the enzyme composition into at least one shape. The diamine in step (a) is a liquid and the diacid in step (b) is a solid.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - FOOD - Preferred Components: The foodstuff is animal food, dog food.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The diacid is 7-12C diacid and the diamine is 1,2 ethyl diamine to a 1,12 dodecane diamine (preferably 1,3-diaminopropane; 1,4-diaminobutane; 1,6-diaminohexane; 1,8-diaminooctane 1,7-diamino heptane, 1,8 diamino octane, 1,9-diamino nonane, 1,10-diamino decane, 1,11-diamino undecane or 1,12-diamino dodecane).
