Description

Sodium Phytate CAS NO 34367-89-0 is the sodium salt of phytic acid, a naturally occurring compound found in plant seeds and grains. 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 manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product stability and shelf life.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as a preservative and antioxidant to prevent discoloration and rancidity in oils, seafood, and canned products. Also functions as a flavor stabilizer.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as an excipient in tablet formulations for its metal-chelating properties, helping to stabilize active ingredients sensitive to trace metals.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a natural chelating agent in creams, lotions, and serums to improve formula stability and prevent spoilage caused by metal ion contamination.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated as a source of inositol and for its potential health benefits related to mineral metabolism.
• Industrial Applications: Used in water treatment as a scale and corrosion inhibitor, and in metal surface treatment processes.
• Laboratory Research: Utilized as a biochemical reagent in studies involving metal chelation, antioxidant activity, and plant biochemistry.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Phytate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for purity, identity, and performance. We can supply material compliant with Food Chemical Codex (FCC) and pharmaceutical-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
