Phytase

Applications
Widely used in poultry, swine and ruminant feed to hydrolyze phytate, increase phosphorus availability and reduce inorganic phosphate supplementation costs. Thermostable phytase grades are designed for pelleted feed, maintaining activity under conditioning temperatures and in the presence of pepsin and trypsin. In food processing, food-grade phytase is applied in grain- and legume-based formulations to reduce phytic acid, improve mineral bioavailability and support nutritional optimization. Suitable for premixes, concentrates and complete feed formulations where predictable FTU/U activity and uniform dispersion are required.

Specifications & Industrial Use
Phytase [EC 3.1.3.26], commonly referenced under CAS 37288-11-2 and 9001-89-2, supplied primarily as free-flowing powder preparations with activities up to 100,000 U/g depending on grade. Produced from Aspergillus niger through controlled fermentation, followed by purification and standardized formulation for consistent batch-to-batch potency. Available in food grade and feed grade formats for industrial-scale production, premix integration and global distribution.
