Phytase is a phosphohydrolytic enzyme that releases phosphorus from phytate in animal feed. However, pelleting is a thermal process that can denature phytase. It is hypothesized that there are many factors that can account for phytase denaturing during the pelleting process, such as pellet mill model, die length to diameter ratio (L:D), steam quality, and residence time in conditioner and die. Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of pellet mill model, die thickness, and die retention time on pellet quality and phytase stability. Treatments were arranged as a completely randomized design to determine the effect …

Effect Of Steam Pressure And Conditioning Temperature During The Pelleting Process On Phytase Stability, C. N. Truelock, N. E. Ward, J. W. Wilson, C. R. Stark, C. B. Paulk

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of steam pressure and conditioning temperature on the stability of microbial phytase. Treatments were arranged as a 2 × 3 factorial of steam pressure (24 and 44 psi) and conditioning temperature (170, 180, and 190°F). Phytase was added to a corn-soybean meal-based diet and mash samples were collected for phytase analysis. The diet was pelleted via steam conditioning (10 × 55 in Wenger twin staff pre-conditioner, Model 150) and using a pellet mill (CPM Model 1012-2) with a 3/16 × 1 1/4 in pellet die (L:D 6.7). Conditioner retention time was set …

This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of pellet mill die thickness and conditioning temperature on the stability of microbial phytase. Treatments were arranged as a 2 × 3 factorial of die thickness (L:D 5.6 and 8.0) and conditioning temperature (165, 175, and 185°F). Phytase was added to a corn-soybean meal-based diet and mash samples were collected for phytase analysis. The diet was pelleted via steam conditioning (10 × 55 in Wenger twin staff pre-conditioner, Model 150) and using a pellet mill (CPM Model 1012-2) with a 5/32 × 7/8 in (L:D 5.6) or 5/32 × 1 1/4 in …
