Usage

Description

Phytase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid to inositol and free orthophosphate. It plays a crucial role in breaking down phytic acid, which is found in plant-based feedstuffs, and releasing essential nutrients such as phosphorus, calcium, and trace minerals.

Uses

Used in Feedstuffs Industry:
Phytase is used as a feed additive for improving the bioavailability of phosphorus and other essential nutrients in plant-based feedstuffs. This helps in reducing the excretion of phosphorus in animal waste, which is beneficial for environmental sustainability.
Used in Bread Making Industry:
Phytase is used as a processing aid in bread making, particularly in whole wheat bread production. It has been studied for its potential to improve phytase activity when the pH is adjusted to 5.0, which is the optimum for wheat phytase. This can lead to better utilization of nutrients from the wheat and improved bread quality.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Wheat phytase can degrade inositol phosphate-6 and 5 at a pH of 4 and 5.
