The possible use of Lactobacillus brevis IBRC-M10790 with degrading phytase activity was investigated in sourdough and Barbari bread –using 20 and 30% of sourdough in the formulation- in order to enhance the nutritional bioavailability, and the efficiency of the bacteria in decreasing phytate via using in sourdough was compared to yeast. Results showed that L. brevis ...

Soaking of cereal grains has been suggested as a method to reduce their phytate content and hence increase their mineral availability. Whole and milled wholegrain, normal and low phytate sorghum and normal maize were studied. Soaking of unmilled sorghum and maize did not result in substantial reductions in phytate or mineral contents. With milled grains, phytate solubilisation was somewhat grea...

The bioavailability of minerals, Zn, Fe, Ca and Mg from cereals, is low because it is present as an insoluble complex with food antinutrient component such as phytic acid. The commonly consumed fermented foods in Khandesh region of Maharashtra, India was investigated for some minerals and anti nutritional factor, Phytate. We study the effect of fermentation with an aim to reduce the content of ...

Both intrinsic and exogenous phytase in poultry feeds can alter phytate utilization and the solubility of P excreted. This experiment determined the effects of feeding diets varying in cereal grain, P concentration and phytase addition on phytate and P utilization and P characterization of ileal digesta and excreta. Twelve treatments, consisting of diets based on corn, wheat, barley, or high fa...

The excretion of large amounts of P in effluent from intensive pig and poultry units is indicative of the poor availability of phytate-bound P in plant-derived feed ingredients. This environmental problem prompted the development and acceptance of microbial phytase feed enzymes for single-stomached animals. Their introduction led to an increasing recognition that phytate may have adverse effect...

Dietary quality is an important limiting factor for proper nutrition in many resource poor settings, with a major concern, micronutrient bioavailability. High content of phytate present in soybean (Glycine max. L) chelates divalent essential mineral ions and reduces its bioavailability and thus dictates the nutritional role of this wonder crop. In this study, the changes in phytate, phytase act...

BACKGROUND: Phosphorous is one of the expensive nutrients in poultry feed. Therefore, improving the bioavailability of this nutrient in feed ingredients could be effective for lowering the cost of feed. OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of pre-treatment of feed ingredients by commercial enzymes and different levels of pH on releasing of phosphorus from phytate under in ...

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) calyx was fermented traditionally and by controlled method with pure strains of Aspergillus flavus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from the fermentation. The proximate composition revealed that the sample fermented traditionally had the highest protein content of 14.7±2.5%. There was a significant decrease (Pd≤0.05) in the antinutrient content (phytate and ta...
