Phytic Acid Content Assay kit

Phytic acid, also known as inositol hexadecanol hexophosphorate, is ubiquitous ineukaryoticcells and plays a key role in many cellular activities, such as maintaining inorganic phosphorushomeostasis, participating in plant hormone signaling, and acting as a cofactor for enzymesinvolved in DNA repair, RNA editing, and mRNA export. Phytic acid (PA) is widelypresent inplant foods such as cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables and dried fruits and provides themainphosphorus source during plant germination and growth. Under certain environmental conditions, phytase can decomcause sodiumphytate (sodiumdodecyl inositol hexaphosphosponate) to produce inorganic phosphorus and inositol derivatives.Under acidic conditions, inorganic phosphorus reacts with ammonium molybdate chromogenicagent to produce blue molybdenum blue substance, which has a characteristic absorptionpeakat700nm. By measuring the content of inorganic phosphorus, phytic acid content can be calculated.
