Specification :

Phytic acid

CAS NO.: 83-86-3
Synonyms: Inositol hexaphosphoric acid
EINECS: 201-506-6
Molecular Formula: C6H18O24P6 Molecular Weight: 660.04
Molecular Structure:

Property:
The appearance of Phytic acid is colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid. Phytic acid contains 12 acid groups which are able to complex with metals to form white insoluble mineral salts. Phytic acid is easily soluble in water and 95% ethanol slightly soluble in pure ethanol, almost insoluble in pure ether and hexane. Phytic acid exists naturally in form of phytin.
