Table

Column 1Column 2
Additive6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26)
Identification number4a12
Authorisation holderRoal Oy
Additive categoryZootechnical additives
Functional groupDigestibility enhancers
Additive compositionPreparation of 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by fermentation with Trichoderma reesei (CBS 122001) having a minimum enzyme activity of 40 000 PPU(2)/g for the solid form and 5000 PPU/g for the liquid form
Characterisation of the active substance(s)6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) produced by fermentation with Trich oderma reesei (CBS 122001)
  • CAS No: 9001-89-2(3)

  • EC (IUBMB) No: 3.1.3.26(4)

  • EINECS No: 232-630-9(5)

Analytical methods(6)For the quantification of phytase activity in the feed additive, premixtures, feed materials and compound feed:
  • Colorimetric method quantifying the enzymatic activity of 6-phytase by measuring released inorganic phosphate from sodium phytate by analysing the colour formed by reduction of a phosphomolybdate complex

(1)

This authorisation is a renewal (with modification) of the authorisations granted under Commission Regulation (EU) No 277/2010, Commission Regulation (EU) No 891/2010 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No886/2011. Those Regulations are revoked by regulation 7, and schedule 14, of these Regulations. The explanatory note to these Regulations sets out the modification made to those authorisations.

(2)

Enzyme activity is expressed in PPU units, where one PPU is the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 micromole (μmol) of inorganic phosphate from sodium phytate per minute at pH 5.0 and 37°C.
