title: Phytase and phytate degradation in humans.
abstract: Human intestinal phytases play a minor role in phytate degradation. However, endogenous phytases in bran have a major effect on phytate hydrolysis. The amount of endogenous phytase activity varies with the method of processing of the fiber.
