CAS 3615-82-5: 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.
