l General Information |
Product Name | Phytase from wheat |
General deion | Phytase catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid to inositol and free orthophosphate. |
Synonym | 6-Phytase, Phytate 6-phosphatase, myo-Inositol-hexakisphosphate 6-phosphohydrolase |
Assay | ≥0.01 unit/mg solid |
CAS Number | 9001-89-2 | MDL number | MFCD00131910 |
Suitability | BioReagent |
l Physical and Chemical Information |
Appearance | solid |
l Biological Information |
Biochem/Physiol Actions | Wheat phytase can degrade inositol phosphate-6 and 5 at a pH of 4 and 5. |
Application | Phytase has been used in a study to quantify the number of feedstuffs showing significant phytase activity. It has also been used in a study to investigate the effect of adjusting the pH to 5.0 (optimum for wheat phytase) during whole wheat bread making on phytase activity. |
Unit Definition | One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of inorganic phosphorus from 1.5 mM phytate per min at pH 5.15 at 55 °C. |
l Storage |
Storage temp. | -20°C |
