Phytases
Occurrence
identified in microorganisms, plants, and some animal tissue
the ability of phytases to hydrolyse phytate is usually known only from in vitro assays and information on
their in vivo function is rather limited

phytate degradation pathway / initiation site of phytate dephosphorylationanimal feeding studies do not give any clear indication that differences inanimal feeding studies do not give any clear indication that differences in bioefficacy are based on the position of initiating phytate dephosphorylation
