BL-Phytase

The enzyme phytase is essential for the breakdown of phytic acid, commonly known as phytate. Phytic acid is a kind of phosphorus that can be found in some animal feedstuffs and plant-based feed components including grains and oilseeds.

Phytase’s main job is to convert phytic acid into lower-phosphate molecules and inorganic phosphorus. Due to its binding properties towards important minerals like calcium, zinc, and iron, phytic acid is regarded as an anti-nutritional factor in monogastric animals like fish, poultry, and pigs. These bound minerals can be released by phytase, which increases the animals’ ability to absorb them.

Animal nutrition frequently uses phytase as a feed enzyme to improve the digestion and utilization of Phytic acid, also known as phytate, must be broken down by the enzyme phytase. Some plant-based feed ingredients, such as grains and oilseeds, and some animal feedstuffs include phytic acid, a kind of phosphorus.

To transform phytic acid into lower-phosphate molecules and inorganic phosphorus is the primary function of phytase. In monogastric animals like fish, poultry, and pigs, phytic acid is considered an anti-nutritional factor because of its binding characteristics towards significant minerals like calcium, zinc, and iron. Phytase allows these bound minerals to be released, which improves the animals’ capacity to absorb them.

Phytase is commonly used in animal nutrition as a feed enzyme to enhance the digestion and utilization of
