General description
Phytic acid (myo-inositol hexaphosphoric acid) is a natural plant antioxidant. It is abundantly found in edible legumes, cereals, oilseeds, pollens and nuts. It can be used as an substitute for presently employed seed preservatives, many of which cause health hazards. Phytic acid (PA) chelate multivalent metal ions, mainly zinc, calcium and iron. It is also implicated in reducing lipid peroxidation and is used as a food preservative.
