EPU—one endo-1,4-β-xylanase unit is the amount of enzyme which releases 0.0083 μmol of reducing sugars (xylose equivalent) per minute from oat spelt xylan at pH 4.7 and 50 °C; FTU—one 6-phytase unit is the amount of enzyme which releases 1 µmol of inorganic phosphate from sodium phytate in one minute at 37 °C and pH 5.5; PROT—one protease unit is the amount of enzyme which releases 1 µmol of p-nitroaniline from 1 mM substrate (Suc-Ala-AlaPro-Phe-pNA) in one minute at pH 9.0 and temperature 37 °C; VU—one endo-1,3(4)-β-gluconate unit is the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes substrate (β-glucan of barley and arabinoxylan of wheat, respectively), while reducing viscosity of the solution, so that there is a change in relative fluidity of 1 (dimensionless unit) in one minute at 30 °C and pH 5.5; *—produced from GMO soybeans (MON 40-3-2).
