Analysis Note

Crude

Application

Phytase has been used in a study to quantify the number of feedstuffs showing significant phytase activity. It has also been used in a study to investigate the effect of adjusting the pH to 5.0 (optimum for wheat phytase) during whole wheat bread making on phytase activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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

General description

Phytase catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid to inositol and free orthophosphate.

Other Notes

One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of inorganic phosphorus from 1.5 mM phytate per min at pH 5.15 at 55 °C.

Many plant-based systems have been developed as bioreactors to produce recombinant proteins. The choice of system for large-scale production depends on its intrinsic expression efficiency and its propensity for scale-up, post-harvest storage and downstream processing. Factors that must be considered
