Phytogenic and microbial phytases in human nutrition

2002-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Phytate (inositol hexa phosphate) hydrolysis can occur during food preparation and production and in the intestine, either by phytase from plants, yeasts or other micro-organisms. This degradation is of nutritional importance, because removal of phosphate groups from the inositol ring results in an increased bioavailability of essential dietary minerals. To substantially improve iron absorption the degradation has...
