What is Phytase? 

Phytase is an enzyme capable of breaking down phytate (phytic acid), which is the storage form of phosphorus in plant-based feed ingredients. Shrimp and fish generally cannot digest phytate due to the lack of endogenous phytase enzymes in their bodies.

What is benefit of using phytase enzyme?

The benefits of using phytase enzyme include improved absorption of minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc, which can help prevent deficiencies in these nutrients. Phytase also aids in breaking down phytic acid, a substance that can bind to minerals and reduce their bioavailability.

APPLICATIONS:

What are the applications of the phytase enzyme?

Phytase enzymes are primarily used in animal feed to enhance phosphorus absorption and reduce phytate concentration, which can improve the nutritional value of the feed.

They are also used in human nutrition processing and manufacturing.

Additionally, phytases have applications in agriculture as plant growth promoters, in the food industry as additives, and in various therapeutic areas.

Moreover, they play a role in environmental protection by reducing phosphorus pollution from animal waste.

What are the applications of phytase in aquaculture?

Phytase is utilized in aquaculture to enhance the growth performance, nutrient utilization, and bioavailability of macro and micro minerals in fish and shrimp. It also helps to reduce phosphorus pollution in the aquatic environment. 

The enzyme's activity is greatly influenced by the pH levels in the gut of aquatic animals. The pH level of a shrimp's gut typically ranges between 6.5 and 7. The pH of a fish's gut generally ranges from neutral to weakly alkaline, although it can vary depending on factors such as species, diet, and water temperature.

What are the uses of microbiologically remixed phytase enzyme products in aquaculture?

Microbiologically remixed phytase enzyme products in aquaculture are used to enhance the nutritional value and sustainability of animal production. They help in releasing phosphorus from phytate in the digestive system, which is beneficial for livestock, poultry, and fish. This can lead to more effective and sustainable animal production practices. Additionally, phytase enzymes improve the digestibility and absorption of feed ingredients, contributing to the growth of aquacultural animals. They also reduce phosphate pollution in aquaculture farming by decreasing the need for mineral supplements and reducing the excretion of organic phosphate in feces.
