Basic Information of Phytic acid 50% CAS 83-86-3
English Name: Phytic Acid
Alternative names: myo-Inositol Hexakisphosphate, inositol hexaphosphate, cyclohexahexol hexaphosphate, abbreviated as IP6
CAS No.：83-86-3
EINECS：201-506-6
Molecular formula: C6H18O24P6
Molecular weight: 660.04
Mainstream product forms: 50% aqueous solution (industrial grade / food grade, most commonly used); pure product appears as a viscous paste at room temperature with physicochemical properties
Appearance: Colorless to light yellow viscous liquid, almost odorless;
Solubility: Soluble in water, ethanol, and acetone; insoluble in ether, benzene, and chloroform;
Core features: The molecule carries six phosphate groups, exhibiting strong metal chelation capability to bind multivalent metal ions such as Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺; it also possesses excellent antioxidant properties;
Acidic organic substances, being corrosive, are eroding to metals.
Preparation Source: Widely available in nature, found in rice bran, wheat bran, grains, legumes, and nut seeds.
Industrial Mainstream Process: Rice bran extraction and purification, classified as natural plant-derived organic acids.
