The present invention provides a method for producing an alcohol comprising: (a) admixing a tripeptidyl peptidase, predominantly having exopeptidase activity, with a feedstock or a fraction thereof before, during or after fermentation of said feedstock or a fraction thereof; and (b) recovering an alcohol. Also provided are uses of a tripeptidyl peptidase and by-products of alcohol production obtainable by the method of the invention.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the production of a hydrolysate comprising at least one endoprotease and a tripeptidyl peptidase capable of cleaving tripeptides from the N-terminus a peptide and/or proteins having one or more of lysine, arginine or glycine in the P1 position wherein said tripeptidyl peptidase is capable of being used at a temperature between 45° C. and 70° C.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions containing oligonucleotides suitable for administration to humans and other mammals.
