4-Phytase, with the CAS number 9001-89-2, is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate) into inositol and phosphate groups. This enzyme is primarily produced by microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, and plays a crucial role in the digestion of phytate, a form of phosphorus that is not readily available to monogastric animals. 4-Phytase is characterized by its ability to enhance the bioavailability of phosphorus in animal feed, thereby improving nutrient absorption and reducing environmental phosphorus pollution from animal waste. It operates optimally at specific pH and temperature ranges, which can vary depending on the source of the enzyme. Additionally, 4-phytase is utilized in various applications, including animal nutrition, food processing, and biotechnology, due to its capacity to improve the nutritional profile of feed and food products. Its use is considered safe, and it is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies when used appropriately.
