This product is produced by submerged fermentation of Aspergillus niger followed by purification and formulation. It can break down the undigestible phytic acid (phytate) found in grains and oil seeds and thus release absorbable phosphorus, calcium and other nutrients. Phytase, as a new food processing aid, can improve the mineral absorption by human body. The enzyme has been widely used in feed, medicine, environmental engineering and other fields.

Phytase hydrolyzes the phosphate groups in phytic acid into inositol and phosphoric acid. During processing with grain or oil seeds, the phytase helps the release of inorganic phosphorus, which relieves the inhibition of phytic acid on protease, avoiding the formation of chelates with phytic acid, such as starch-protein-phytic acid, metal ions-phytic acid, thus improving raw material utilization and the nutritional value of product.
