Phytase activity was found to be cell wall associated with temperature and pH optima of 50C and 4.0, respectively. Highest phytase production was attained in cane juice medium as compared with other media used. Addition of phytase to chickpea flour significantly enhanced mineral mobilization by approximately 20-28%, 26-37% and 24-42% for Zn2+, Fe2+ and Ca2+, respectively, and decreased phytic acid content by about 75-88%.</p>1 aPable, A.1 aGujar, P.1 aKhire, Jayant, Malhar  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/selection-phytase-producing-yeast-strains-improved-mineral-mobilization-and-0
