What are the Challenges and Future Directions in Phytase Research?
Despite its benefits, the use of phytase is not without challenges. These include stability issues under high temperatures and varying pH conditions, which can limit its effectiveness. Future research is focused on engineering more robust phytase enzymes through protein engineering techniques, improving their stability and activity under diverse conditions. Additionally, the development of phytases with broader substrate specificity could further enhance their utility in various industrial applications.
