Enzymes and other biologically produced materials are recovered from the fermentation broth or other liquor in which they are provided initially and simultaneously distributed throughout particles of a polymeric matrix by dissolving the polymer in the liquor, dispersing the resultant polymer solution in a non-aqueous liquor in the presence of a stabiliser, and azeotroping the dispersion to produce either dry beads or a dispersion of small particles in the non-aqueous liquid. |
