Abstract
This chapter confers an overview of the food enzyme ‘phytase’ that mediates hydrolysis of phytic acid decoyed in food of plant origin. It emphasizes on the molecular classification, sources and production of phytase along with its practical applications. A wide and comprehensive discussion of the phytase, which performs a pivotal function in biochemistry of inositol phosphates, is covered herein along with cataloguing a number of sources that produce the enzyme. Phytase have promising applications in food and fodder industries for enhancing digestibility and absorption of nutrients by upholding the anti-nutritional value of phytic acid.
