A stable composition obtained by enzymatic oxidation of a halide thiocyanate mixture, including at least one ion selected from the group of the I2SCN— ions and the I(SCN).sub.2— ions, the composition being free of hypothiocyanite ions. In an embodiment, the composition further includes iodine thiocyanate ISCN. This disclosure also relates to a method for preparing the stable composition and to the uses thereof.
