Phytic acid (~50% in water)（Cat No.:R053189）is a naturally occurring organic acid with six phosphate groups, commonly found in plant seeds as the principal storage form of phosphorus. In its aqueous solution form, it appears as a clear to slightly yellow liquid. This highly charged molecule chelates essential minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc, making it both a potent antioxidant and an anti-nutrient in food science. It is widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture for its chelating, preservative, and antioxidant properties. Proper storage is essential due to its hygroscopic and acidic nature.
