General description

Phytase catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid to inositol and free orthophosphate. [1]

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. [2]

Analysis Note

Crude

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.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. What would be a molecular weight? And how much purity is the powder?

    1 answer
    1. Unfortunately, this product is not tested for purity and the molecular weight has not been determined. This enzyme is sourced from Wheat. There is no molecular weight listed for Phytase from Triticum. Please see the link below to review the PRENDA profile for this enzyme.

  2. What is the microbe that was used to produce the enzyme?

    1 answer
    1. The method of preparation of this product consists of a water extraction of wheat bran, concentration, and lyophilization. It is a very crude preparation. It is not from a recombinant source.
