ABSTRACT
A commercially available microbial phytase was investigated with the aim of firstly,
determining its effectiveness in releasing phosphate from phytate and secondly, investigating the
possible binding of supplemented amino acids to phytate and the effectiveness of microbial phytase
in releasing bound amino acids. Feedstuffs with added synthetic amino acids were incubated in the
presence or absence of microbial phytase and the resulting concentrations of free phosphate and
free amino acids were determined. The mean dephosphorylation of phytate over all feedstuffs and
reaction conditions used was 0.40. Dephosphorylation ranged from 0 for wheat pollard to 0.84 for
cottonseed meal depending on the feedstuff and the reactions conditions used. Incubation in the
absence and presence of microbial phytase resulted in a recovery of supplemented amino acids of
between 0.37 to 1.15 (mean = 0.84) and 0.49 to 1.17 (mean = 0.89), respectively, depending on the
amino acid, feedstuff and reaction conditions employed.
