Article Synopsis
- This review highlights recent advancements in engineering thermostable phytase through genetic modification and immobilization techniques over the last seven years.
- Genetic modifications have improved the enzyme's thermostability and functionality, while immobilization methods have helped retain 50-60% of its activity at temperatures above 50°C.
- Phytase is essential in the food and feed industries, as it reduces phytate content to enhance nutritional value in flour and poultry feed, making it a robust option for high-temperature applications.
