1.

In the directions for use of the additive and premixtures, the storage conditions and stability to heat treatment shall be indicated.

2.

For users of the additive and premixtures, feed business operators shall establish operational procedures and organisational measures to address potential risks resulting from its use. Where those risks cannot be eliminated or reduced to a minimum by such procedures and measures, the additive and premixtures shall be used with personal protective equipment, including breathing protection.

Characterisation of the active substance

6-phytase produced by Komagataella phaffii CGMCC 12056

Analytical method

( 2 )

For the quantification of phytase activity in the feed additive: colorimetric method based on the enzymatic reaction of phytase on the phytate – VDLUFA 27.1.4;

For the quantification of phytase activity in premixtures: colorimetric method based on the enzymatic reaction of phytase on the phytate – VDLUFA 27.1.3;

For the quantification of phytase activity in feedingstuffs: colorimetric method based on the enzymatic reaction of phytase on the phytate – EN ISO 30024.

( 1 )   One unit is the amount of enzyme which releases one micromole of inorganic phosphate from phytate per minute at pH 5,5 and 37 °C.
