6-phytase

EC 3.1.3.26

Additive composition:

Preparation of 6-phytase produced by Aspergillus oryzae (DSM 17594) having a minimum activity of:

Solid form: 10 000  FYT  ( 1 ) /g

Liquid form: 20 000  FYT/g

Characterisation of the active substance:

6-phytase produced by Aspergillus oryzae

(DSM 17594)

Analytical method  ( 2 )

Colorimetric method based on reaction of vanadomolybdate on inorganic phosphate produced by action of 6-phytase on a phytate-containing substrate (sodium phytate) at pH 5,5 and 37 °C, quantified against a standard curve from inorganic phosphate.

Piglets (weaned)
