Phytic acid sodium salt, also known as Sodium phytate, also referred to as myo-inositol hexaphosphate, is a compound found in plants, grains, and legumes. Its unique structure comprises an inositol backbone with six phosphate groups attached. Notably, Phytic acid sodium salt serves as an antioxidant, preservative, and emulsifier. Current understanding suggests its involvement in chelating dietary minerals, impeding cholesterol and bile acid absorption, and scavenging free radicals. Additionally, Phytic acid sodium salt is thought to interact with cell surface receptors and modulate the activity of diverse enzymes.
