Citric pulp is an agro-industrial residue from the citrus processing industry with low inorganic phosphorus content applied in animal feed. A new bioprocess was developed to produce and purify a new phytase generated on citric pulp fermentation by Aspergillus niger FS3. The phytase was purified by cationic-exchange, anionic-exchange chromatography and chromatofocusing steps. From SDS–PAGE analysis, the molecular weight of the purified phytase was calculated to be 108 kDa. The phytase had an optimum pH of 5.0–5.5 and an optimum temperature of 60°C. The phytase displayed high affinity for phytate, and the K m was 0.52 mM. The purified phytase was sufficiently able to withstand pelleting temperatures, retaining sufficiently high phytate-degrading activity.
