Phytic acid is primarily found in plant seeds, nuts, and grains, where it serves as a form of phosphorus storage. It is highly soluble in water and exhibits acidic properties. It is commonly studied for its role as an anti-nutrient in food processing and as a phosphorus storage form in plants.

Application 

The main uses of Phytic acid CAS 83-86-3 include:

  1. Anti-nutrient: Phytic acid can bind with minerals like iron, zinc, and calcium, reducing their absorption and affecting mineral utilization.
  2. Food Additive: As a natural antioxidant, phytic acid helps extend the shelf life of food by preventing fat oxidation.
  3. Medical Use: It may help reduce the absorption of heavy metals like lead and cadmium, acting as a detoxifier.
  4. Agricultural Use: Used as a fertilizer to provide phosphorus for plants.
  5. Cosmetics: Used as an antioxidant to improve skin tone and reduce signs of aging.

Although phytic acid has some anti-nutrient effects, it has many valuable applications in food, medicine, and agriculture.
