Background: Phytases increase utilization of phytate phosphorus in feed. Since wheat is rich in endogenous phytase activity it was examined whether wheat phytases could improve phytate degradation compared to microbial phytases. Moreover, it was investigated whether enzymatic degradation of phytate is influenced by the matrix surrounding it. Phytate degradation was defined as the decrease in the sum of InsP₆ + InsP₅.
Results: Endogenous wheat phytase effectively degraded wheat Ins₆ + InsP₅ at pH 4 and pH 5, while this was not true for a recombinant wheat phytase or phytase extracted from wheat bran. Only microbial phytases were able to degrade InsP₆ + InsP₅ in the entire pH range from 3 to 5, which is relevant for feed applications. A microbial phytase was efficient towards InsP₆ + InsP₅ in different phytate samples, whereas the ability to degrade InsP₆ + InsP₅ in the different phytate samples ranged from 12% to 70% for the recombinant wheat phytase.
Conclusion: Wheat phytase appeared to have an interesting potential. However, the wheat phytases studied could not improve phytate degradation compared to microbial phytases. The ability to degrade phytate in different phytate samples varied greatly for some phytases, indicating that phytase efficacy may be affected by the phytate matrix.

Nutrient utilisation and growth performance of broiler chickens fed standard or moderately reduced dietary protein diets with and without β-mannanase supplementation.

The use of reduced protein diets in broiler chicken production provides potential benefits for performance and environmental footprint of production. The effectiveness of β-Mannanase supplementation in wheat and soy based standard protein (SP) and reduced protein (RP) diets was tested for growth performance, nutrient utilisation and selected intestinal gene expression of broiler chickens. In a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments, two main factors included dietary protein (standard and reduced protein) and β-Mannanase supplementation (with or without).

The effects of single- () or mixed-strain (, ) fermentation of red bean with or without wheat bran on sourdough bread quality and nutritional aspects were investigated. The results showed that, compared to unfermented controls, the tannins, phytic acid, and trypsin inhibitor levels were significantly reduced, whereas the phytochemical (TPC, TFC, and gallic acid) and soluble dietary fiber were increased in sourdough. Meanwhile, more outstanding changes were obtained in sourdough following a mixed-strain than single-strain fermentation, which might be associated with its corresponding β-glucosidase, feruloyl esterase, and phytase activities.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the digestion of soybean protein changes when treated with phytase, an enzyme that reduces phytate levels in the protein.
- Results showed that phytase treatment improved the solubility of soybean protein and shifted its isoelectric point, which helps the protein dissolve better in acidic conditions.
- The findings suggest that using phytase leads to a faster digestion rate and less aggregation of the protein, making it potentially more effective for clinical nutrition and specialized medical foods.

A 42-days study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different dietary types (corn-or wheat-soybean meal-based diet) and phytase (Phy) or a multi-carbohydrase and phytase complex (MCPC) supplementation on growth performance, digestibility of phosphorus (P), intestinal transporter gene expression, plasma indexes, bone parameters, and fecal microbiota in growing pigs.

Poultry's digestive tract lacks hydrolytic phytase enzymes, which results in chelation of dietary minerals, vital amino acids, proteins, and carbohydrates, phytate-phosphate unavailability, and contamination of the environment due to phosphorus. Therefore, it is necessary to use exogenous microbial phytases as feed additive to chicken feed to catalyze the hydrolysis of dietary phytate. Potential sources of microbial isolates that produce desired phytases for chicken feed supplementation have been isolated from agricultural croplands.
