Reducing the anti-nutrient effect of phytate

Phytate can reduce the solubility of up to half of the protein in conventional diets, resulting in a physiological cascade which adversely influences the nutritional value of energy and amino acids. Exogenous phytase can counter these effects, improving amino acid and energy digestibility. Phytase is an enzyme that can break down the poorly digestible phytate salts found in grains and oil seeds, releasing digestible phosphorus and calcium. Besides being a digestible phosphorus diulent, phytate
