Abstract
Development of an ideal process for reduction of food phytates using microbial phytases is a demanding task by all food and feed industries all over the world Phytase production by Bacillus subtilis subsp subtilis JJBS250 isolated from soil sample was optimized in submerged fermentation using statistical tools Among all the culture variables tested sucrose sodium phytate and Tween80 were identified as the most significant variables using the Placket–Burman design Further optimization of these variables resulted in a 679fold improvement in phytase production 7170 U/L as compared to unoptimized medium Supplementation of microbial phytases fungal and bacterial resulted in improved bioavailability of nutritional components with the concomitant liberation of inorganic phosphorus reducing sugar soluble protein and amino acids thus mitigating antinutritional properties of phytic acid
