Description

Phytate is the salt or ester form of phytic acid, a naturally occurring compound found in plant seeds and grains. It serves as a versatile chelating agent and antioxidant, valued for its ability to bind minerals and stabilize products. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries seeking natural, multifunctional ingredients. Our high-purity Phytate CAS NO 7205-52-9 ensures consistent performance and reliable supply for your critical applications.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as a natural antioxidant and preservative to prevent rancidity in oils and fats, and as a mineral chelator to control metal-catalyzed oxidation.
• Pharmaceuticals: Employed as an excipient in tablet formulations and as a chelating agent in certain drug delivery systems.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into mineral supplement formulas where its chelating properties can influence mineral bioavailability.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a natural chelating agent and antioxidant in skincare products to enhance stability and shelf life.
• Industrial Applications: Acts as a corrosion inhibitor in water treatment processes and a scale inhibitor in industrial cleaning formulations.
• Research & Development: Serves as a key biochemical reagent in life science research for studying mineral metabolism and antioxidant mechanisms.
