thiaminase

Wouldn't that cook the fish?

Yeast is high in B vitamins, (Thiamine is a B vitamin) so that makes sense, but wonder if they'd eat food covered in it?

Shanley, thanks for the info!

sweet just spoke to my boi teacher about it and he said that the yeast would destroy the enzyme/eat it and that the heat would denature/deform it so it would no longer be able to break down the enzymes!!!! sweet a cure to thiaminase!!!! also the hish pH levels of the yeast would deform it then they would eat it lol

So why not just heat it?

idk lol but you could do one or the other or if you really really want to both

I've always seen thiaminase as being more problematic when you're forced to use live food. Heating the food to 80-something degrees Celsius will destroy it.

yup makes me happy bc now I can feed them fish other than tilapia!!!!! (don't like salmon and i've not found trout.......)

I still recommend just heating it and not adding yeast.

[Snake lover 3-25]

yup prob. me too.... lol but yeast is just another way to denature the enzyme..... so who knows lol but it'd work
