AU73406: Determination of Phytic Acid in Beans, Wild Rice, and Almonds
Description
Phytic acid, sometimes abbreviated to IP6, is abundant in plant seeds, such as legumes, nuts, and grains. Phytic acid serves as a storage for cations and phosphorus, a source of energy for germination, or wound signaling in plants. In animals, only ruminant animals have the phytase enzyme to break down phytic acid. In this application update, phytic acid was determined in municipal water extracts of whole and ground kidney beans, pinto beans, wild rice (aquatic grass seed), and almonds. Phytate was separated using electrolytically generated 65 mM KOH and detected with suppressed conductivity.| Market: | Food and Beverage |
