Food Grade Phytase Enzyme For Food Additive
Introduction
This product is produced by submerged fermentation of Aspergillus niger followed by purification formulation and drying. It can break down the undigestible phytic acid (phytate) found in grains and oil seeds and thus release absorbable phosphorus, calcium, and other nutrients. Phytase, as a new food processing aid, can improve the mineral absorption by the human body and smooth the food processing. The enzyme has been widely used in feed, medicine, environmental engineering, and other fields.
Definition Of Unit
1 unit of phytase equals the amount of enzyme, which liberates 1 μmol of inorganic phosphorus in 1 min, from 5.0mmol/L sodium phytase at 37℃ and pH 5.0.
Mechanism
Phytase hydrolyzes the phosphate groups in phytic acid into inositol and phosphoric acid. During processing with grain or oil seeds, the phytase helps the release of inorganic phosphorus, which relieves the inhibition of phytic acid on protease, avoiding the formation of chelates with phytic acid, such as starch-protein-phytic acid, metal ions-phytic acid, thus improving raw material utilization and the nutritional value of the product.
Application Recommendation
The recommended dosage is 0.01-0.1 kg/t DS. The dosage has to be optimized based on each application, the raw material specifications, product expectations, and processing parameters. It is better to begin the test with the smallest quantity.
