Phytin

Description:

Phytin, also known as inositol hexakisphosphate (IHP), is a naturally occurring compound found predominantly in plant seeds and grains. It serves as a storage form of phosphorus and is a key component of the plant's energy metabolism. Phytin is characterized by its complex structure, which consists of a myo-inositol ring with six phosphate groups attached, making it highly hydrophilic and negatively charged at physiological pH. This property allows phytin to chelate various metal ions, influencing mineral bioavailability in both plants and animals. In human nutrition, phytin is often regarded as an anti-nutrient because it can bind essential minerals like calcium, iron, and zinc, potentially reducing their absorption. However, it also possesses antioxidant properties and may have health benefits, including potential roles in cancer prevention and cardiovascular health. Phytin is soluble in water, and its stability can be affected by factors such as pH and temperature. Overall, phytin plays a significant role in both plant biology and human nutrition, highlighting its importance in various biochemical processes.

Calcium-magnesium phytate

CAS: 3615-82-5

Phytate is a naturally occurring compound that is found in many plants. It has been used to develop a model system for studying how phosphorylation of the inositol ring affects the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Phytate also has insect-repelling properties and can be used as an alternative to chemical pesticides. Calcium-magnesium phytate is a dietary supplement that contains calcium and magnesium, which are important nutrients for bone health. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclin D2, a protein involved in cell proliferation.
