Phytase Assay Kit

Phytase Assay Kit

• Field of Research: Plant Physiology Series
• Detection Method: Colorimetric method
• Assay Principle: Phytase also known as inositol hexaphosphatase, is a protein and sugar binding enzyme. Phytase can catabolize phytic acid to produce inorganic phosphorus and inositol, which greatly improves nutrient utilization rate of organisms. Natural phytase is widely found in plants, animal tissues and microorganisms. Phytase has a wide research value in the field of food production and animal husbandry.
  Under certain environmental conditions, phytase can decompose sodium phytate to produce inorganic phosphorus and inositol derivatives. Under acidic conditions, inorganic phosphorus and ammonium molybdate chromogenic agent react to produce a blue molybdenum blue substance, which has a characteristic absorption peak at 700 nm. Phytase activity can be calculated by measuring the content of inorganic phosphorus.
