Abstract:: Phytic acid is a prevalent anti-nutrient in human and animal diets, neutralized effectively by the enzyme phytase. This enzyme, extensively used in the food industry and livestock production, was the focus of our study to identify phytase-producing fungal species among contaminants in ultra-refined white cheeses. We evaluated the enzymatic activity of each isolate in phytase screening medium (PSM) and Luria bertani Broth (LB) media, determining optimal production conditions such as temperature and pH for the… Show more
