Compositions that produce antimicrobial activity are described. The composition comprises an enzyme capable of converting the substrate to release hydrogen peroxide, a substrate for the enzyme, and a solvate in the form of a sugar or sugar derivative having a solubility of at least 100 g / 100 g water at 20 캜 and 1 atm. The composition may not contain sufficient free water to allow the enzyme to convert the substrate. |
