Phytase and phytate degradation in humans

No authors listed. Nutr Rev. 1989 May.

Abstract

Human intestinal phytases play a minor role in phytate degradation. However, endogenous phytases in bran have a major effect on phytate hydrolysis. The amount of endogenous phytase activity varies with the method of processing of the fiber.
