What is phytase?

Phytase is an enzyme which releases unavailable phosphorus from phytate (an antinutritive factor found in feedstuffs of plant origin), thus, functionally acting as a source of phosphorus (P) in rations.  The nutritive value of phytase is the result of liberating nutrients (P as well as ionically bound proteins, amino acids, minerals, starches and lipids) from phytate found in the diet.

 


RONOZYME® P phytase releases the 6' phosphate group first and can cleave five of the six phosphate groups from phytic acid.  This information falls in the category of enzyme trivia, however, as from a practical nutrition point of view, animals do not differentiate where phosphate groups are liberated; it only cares that they were liberated.
