The pharmaceutical preparation for the treatment of pancreatic insufficiency comprises a liquid administering form of enzymes.

Pharmaceutical preparation

The invention is a method for reducing the viral and microbial content of biological extracts which contain solids. The method comprises the steps of, (1), providing a biological extract which contains solids that comprise a biologically active substance, selected from enzymes, proteins and peptides, or a mixture of such substances; and (2) subjecting the biological extract to a high-pressure treatment; wherein the biological activity of the biological extract after the high-pressure treatment is at least 50% of the biological activity of the biological extract before the high-pressure treatment.

Method for reducing the viral and microbial load of biological extracts containing solids

The invention relates to a method for producing pancreatin with reduced viral and microbial contamination, comprising the steps of (a) providing the pancreatin in solid form with a residual moisture of 0.5 weight % or less, down to almost zero, based on the pancreatin provided; (b) subjecting the pancreatin provided in step (a) to a heat treatment at a temperature of 84&#xb0; C., preferably 80&#xb0; C. and below; wherein, the biological activity of the pancreatin obtained in step (b) corresponds to at least 50% of the biological activity of the pancreatin provided in step (a); and the viral infectiousness of the pancreatin obtained in step (b) has been reduced by a factor of more than 1 login comparison with the viral infectiousness of the pancreatin provided in step (a), as well as a pancreatin produced according to this method and its use for producing a medicine or a nutritional supplement.
