There are two origins of phytase : microbial phytase EC 3.1.3.8 and plant phytase EC 3.1.3.26. I want to know if the microbial phytase from Aspergillus niger is GRAS ( Generally Recommended As Safe) or not. Thanks
Thank your for the answer Dr Abd, Can I use this enzyme for food preparation to decrease the level of phytate or it is used only for feed preparation ?
Certainly possible ,Because Phytate has been dubbed the anti-nutrient, but it’s also a beneficial phytonutrient. Phytate binds with minerals and prevents their absorption, possibly leading to deficiencies, especially if your diet is high in fiber and whole-grain foods.
