Phytic Acid Analysis
- Detect phytic acid content in food and evaluate its impact on mineral absorption.
- Study the effects of phytic acid on human and animal nutrient absorption and health.
- Evaluate phytic acid content in plant seeds to optimize crop varieties and fertilization strategies.
- Explore the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities of phytic acid and its potential therapeutic applications
Phytic acid is a six-fold dihydrogenphosphate ester of inositol (specifically, the myo-isomer), also known as inositol hexaphosphate, inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), or inositol polyphosphate. At physiological pH, the phosphates are partially ionized, resulting in the phytate anion. The myo-phytate anion is a colorless species that serves as the principal storage form of phosphorus in many plant tissues, especially in bran and seeds. It is also present in legumes, cereals, and grains. Phytic acid and phytate exhibit a strong binding affinity to dietary minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc, inhibiting their absorption in the small intestine.
Given its critical role in nutrition and agriculture, accurate quantitative and qualitative analysis of phytic acid is essential for studying its biological functions and applications. Moreover, phytic acid has demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties, making it an important focus in medical research.
