Description

Sodium Phytate CAS NO 14306-25-3 is the sodium salt of phytic acid, a naturally occurring compound found in plant seeds. It serves as a highly effective chelating agent and antioxidant, valued for its ability to bind metal ions and prevent oxidation. This makes it a critical ingredient for industries requiring stabilization, preservation, and mineral control, such as food & beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Application

• Food & Beverage Additive: Used as a preservative, antioxidant, and stabilizer to prevent discoloration and rancidity in oils, seafood, and canned products.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a natural chelating agent in creams and lotions to enhance stability and shelf-life by sequestering metal ions.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Employed as a stabilizer and mineral supplement carrier in tablet and capsule formulations.
• Industrial Water Treatment: Acts as an environmentally friendly scale and corrosion inhibitor in cooling and boiler water systems.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Serves as a source of inositol and phosphorus in mineral supplement formulations.
• Laboratory Research: Utilized as a biochemical reagent for studying metal chelation and enzyme inhibition in vitro.
