Application

EC Number Application Comment Organism
3.5.1.61 nutrition implication for reducing the toxicity of Leucaena used for stock feed, the product 3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyrid-4-one, DHP, is goitrogenic in animals but is less toxic than mimosine, conversion of mimosine to DHP is therefore beneficial for the use of Leucaena as animal feed Leucaena leucocephala
