1. Phytic acid exists in plant seeds in the form of phytate calcium magnesium salt, also exists in animal nucleated red blood cells, can promote the release of oxygen in oxygenated hemoglobin, improve red blood cell function, prolong the survival of red blood cells .
2, phytic acid itself is a beneficial nutrient for the human body, phytic acid hydrolysis products in the human body inositol and phospholipids, the former has anti-aging effects, the latter is an important part of human cells.
3. Phytic acid has extremely strong complexing ability to most metal ions. The complexing force is similar to that of EDTA, but its value and scope are wider than EDTA. Phytic acid more than two metal salts can be qualitative precipitation.
4. Each phytic acid molecule can provide six pairs of hydrogen atoms to make the electrons of free radicals form a stable structure, thereby replacing the fresh-keeping molecules as oxygen-supplying molecules and avoiding the oxidative deterioration of fresh-keeping objects.
5, phytic acid has good conductivity.
Phytic acid toxicity
The oral LD50 of mice was 4192 mg/kg body weight, and the toxicity was lower than that of salt (saline LD50 was 4000 mg/kg).
Three experiments: phytic acid has no mutagenic effect on the micronucleus test of bone marrow polychromatic cells in mice.
