Product Introduction
Sodium phytate, also known as phytic acid sodium salt, is a naturally occurring compound derived primarily from plant sources such as grains, seeds, and legumes. Its main component, phytic acid, is a form of storage phosphate in plants, and sodium phytate is used in various applications, ranging from food preservation to dietary supplementation. The product can also play a role in improving mineral absorption in the human body, particularly in relation to trace elements, making it a valuable additive in health-focused products.
Production Process
The extraction of sodium phytate involves the process of phytate isolation from raw plant materials. Initially, the raw sources are de-husked and finely ground to release phytates. Subsequently, acid extraction techniques are utilized to separate the phytates from proteins and other compounds present in the materials. The extracted material undergoes neutralization with sodium base, resulting in sodium phytate formation. It is then purified and dried to achieve the desired powder consistency.
Product Application Scenarios
Sodium phytate finds its uses in various sectors, including the food industry where it acts as a preservative and antioxidant. In dietary supplements, it can enhance mineral bioavailability, serving as a source of phosphorus. Additionally, it can be used in pharmaceuticals as a stabilizing agent for certain drugs, ensuring their effectiveness and shelf stability. Furthermore, sodium phytate is utilized in certain cosmetic formulations, leveraging its properties for skin health.
