EN 24729 Phytase Stability Testing in Premix Products
The European standard EN 24729 outlines a method to assess phytase stability within premix products used in feed formulations. This testing is crucial for ensuring the efficacy of phytase enzymes, which play a vital role in unlocking phosphorus and other nutrients from plant-based feeds. In this service, we employ strict adherence to EN 24729 to provide accurate and reliable data on phytase stability.
Phytases are widely used additives in animal feed formulations, primarily for their ability to degrade phytate into more digestible forms of phosphorus and other minerals. These enzymes contribute significantly to improving the nutritional efficiency of feeds by enhancing nutrient availability. However, the stability of these enzymes during processing and storage is critical to maintain their effectiveness.
The test procedure involves subjecting premix samples containing phytase to a series of conditions that simulate real-world feed production environments. This includes temperature, humidity, and handling practices encountered in industrial processes. By following EN 24729, we ensure that the stability assessment is both accurate and repeatable, providing our clients with consistent results.
The testing process begins with precise sample preparation, ensuring that each batch of premix contains the same phytase concentration. Samples are then subjected to a controlled temperature environment for extended periods, followed by re-assaying the activity levels of the phytase enzyme. The results provide insights into how well the enzymes maintain their activity over time.
Using state-of-the-art analytical instruments and techniques allows us to achieve highly accurate measurements. Our laboratory is equipped with advanced spectroscopic devices that can detect minute changes in enzyme activity, ensuring precision down to single-digit micromolar levels. This level of detail is essential for understanding the nuances of phytase stability under various conditions.
The importance of this testing cannot be overstated. Accurate phytase stability data helps feed manufacturers optimize their formulations, leading to improved animal performance and reduced environmental impact from excess phosphorus in waste streams. For quality managers and compliance officers, EN 24729 ensures that all products meet stringent regulatory requirements.
R&D engineers can rely on our service to guide their innovations by providing data that informs the optimal conditions for phytase stability during processing. This information is invaluable for developing new feed formulations or refining existing ones. For procurement teams, it provides assurance that the phytase additives they source are reliable and consistent.
Our commitment to quality extends beyond just following EN 24729; we also ensure that all our testing adheres to ISO standards for laboratory practices. This guarantees that our results are not only precise but also universally accepted, enhancing confidence in our services.
In conclusion, this service offers a comprehensive approach to ensuring the stability of phytase in premix products. By leveraging EN 24729 and other relevant international standards, we provide clients with robust data that supports informed decision-making processes within their organizations.
