This review focuses on phytase functionality in the digestive tract of farmed non‐ruminant
animals and the factors influencing in vivo phytase enzyme activity. In pigs, feed phytase is …

Phosphorus (P) is primarily stored in the form of phytates in plant seeds, thus being poorly
available for monogastric livestock, such as pigs and poultry. As phytate is a polyanionic …

Phosphorus (P) nutrition has received renewed interest due to its potential environmental
effects in terms of eutrophication and the limitations of the global raw phosphate stores. At …

A3957 - Bedford - Enzymes #P.vp Page 1 DD Maenz Characteristics of Phytases 3 Introduction
Substantial quantities of phytic acid occur in plant-based diets fed to production animals …

The physical and chemical properties of six crude phytase preparations were compared.
Four of these enzymes (Aspergillus A, Aspergillus R, Peniophora and Aspergillus T) were …

The current direct colorimetric assay for phytase activity in feeds has interference from high
P background and other factors. Our objective was to develop a rapid and reliable spin …

Phytate is a molecule rich in phosphorus (P). However, the P in phytate is of low availability
to monogastric animals because they lack the proper enzyme system to hydrolyse phytate …

The aim of this study was to compare the biochemical properties of seven commercially
available phytase products as well as their catalytic performance in an in vitro simulation of …

Phosphorous is one of the important elements for life but its surplus amount is not good. It
can be retrieved for being reused but can not be produced. It's a good thing that phosphorus …

Phytases release inorganic phosphorus from phytic acid or its salts, which are the major
forms of organic phosphorus in plant-derived food and feed ingredients. These enzymes …
