Abstract
Phytase from Aspergillus species is a very heat unstable enzyme which inactivates to a great extent during the thermal processing of animal feed formulation. Various protein stabilization additives were tested to improve its heat stability. Among them, a basic amino acid, L-arginine remarkably increased the thermal stability of phytase in an aqueous solution state.
