  • Process for hydrolyzing phytate with a synergetic enzyme composition
    Patent number: 5554399
    Abstract: An enzyme composition having a synergetic phytate hydrolyzing activity comprising a phytase having phytate hydrolyzing activity at a pH of from 2.5 to 5.0 and an acid phosphatase having phytate hydrolyzing activity at a pH of 2.5, in a low ratio corresponding to a pH 2.5/5.0 activity profile of from 0.8/1.0 to 3/1. Said enzyme composition preferably displays a higher synergetic phytate hydrolyzing efficiency through thermal treatment. Fungal enzymes, especially those from Aspergillus, are preferred. Use of said enzyme composition in food, feed and fodder products to improve phytate hydrolysis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 18, 1995
    Date of Patent: September 10, 1996
