title: [Phytic acid and cereals and cereal products. I: Phytic acid and phytase in rye and rye products].
abstract: Phytic acid in food is considered to be responsible for a reduced bioavailability of essential dietary minerals; its detrimental effects can be diminished by hydrolysis with phytase during processing. The average phytic acid content was 8.18 mg/g and 3.44 mg/g and average phytase activity was 3.7 U/g and 2.6 U/g in rye kernels and in flour (Type 997, 1.09 ash content), respectively. Phytate and Phytase were about equally distributed between the two kernel halves (cross sections). During the early stages of germination (3 days) phytase activity did not change, and phytic acid content was reduced to 67%. After milling most of the phytic acid and phytase activity were found in the bran fractions. It is concluded that substrate and enzyme are present in the same kernel structures but separate within the cells. Cooking of ground rye caused a phytate hydrolysis which was the more effective 1.) the smaller the particle sizes were, 2.) the more water was added, and 3.) the longer phytase worked at optimum temperature. Extrusion cooking of the rye whole flour at up to 100 degrees C did not influence the phytic acid level but caused a 23% reduction at 170 degrees C. Phytase activity was reduced by 80% by extrusion cooking at 80 degrees C.
