Applications
Phytase hydrolyzes phytate to release bound phosphorus and reduce anti-nutrient effects. It is designed for reliable activity within its recommended pH and temperature ranges, supporting digestibility and performance across feed and food dephytinization uses.
Poultry Feed
Releases phosphorus from phytate in corn-soy diets—helps replace inorganic phosphate and lowers feed cost by improving nutrient utilization.
Swine Feed
Improves phosphorus digestibility in pig diets by 25–40%, supporting better growth efficiency and reducing manure phosphorus load.
Aquaculture Feed
Supports plant-based fish feeds by breaking down phytate that can chelate minerals and interfere with protein digestion.
Environmental Compliance
Reduces phosphorus excretion in animal waste by 30–50%, helping farms meet water quality and nutrient discharge regulations.
Baking & Food Processing
Reduces phytic acid in whole grain flour to improve mineral bioavailability (iron, zinc, calcium) in bread and baked products.
Plant-Based Foods
Dephytinizes soy, legumes, and cereals for plant-based meat and dairy alternatives, improving mineral availability and ingredient functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 What does FTU/g mean for Phytase?
FTU/g is the measured phytase activity per gram of product. Higher FTU/g typically means more phytate-degrading capacity at the same dosage; final inclusion should be confirmed by your formulation and trial results.
Q2 What pH and temperature range should I use for Phytase?
For best performance, use Phytase within pH 2.5–5.5 and 37°C–60°C, matching the enzyme’s recommended operating conditions.
Q3 Can Phytase replace inorganic phosphate in feed?
In many corn-soy formulations, Phytase can reduce reliance on inorganic phosphate by releasing phosphorus from phytate. The exact replacement level depends on diet composition, mineral targets, and trial outcomes.
Q4 How does Phytase reduce environmental phosphorus in manure?
By improving phosphorus digestibility and reducing phytate-bound phosphorus, Phytase lowers the amount of phosphorus excreted. This can help reduce manure phosphorus by about 30–50% in practical settings.
Q5 Is coated granule Phytase available and why choose it?
Yes. Coated granules are preferred for many feed applications because they can improve stability during pelleting/handling and help maintain activity through storage and use.
