Frequently asked questions

What is phytin used for?

Phytin is primarily used as a chelating agent in food and pharmaceutical applications, and as a source of phosphorus in nutritional supplements.

What is the chemical formula and molecular weight of phytin?

Phytin (CAS 3615-82-5) is the calcium magnesium salt of phytic acid (myo-inositol hexakis(dihydrogen phosphate)), in which calcium and magnesium replace some of the acidic hydrogens of the parent acid. Because the calcium and magnesium content of this mixed salt can vary, its exact formula and molecular weight differ from those of free phytic acid. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for lot-specific composition.

How should phytin be stored?

Store phytin in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and light, in tightly sealed containers.

What grade of phytin is available?

Molekula offers phytin in analytical grade, suitable for laboratory and research use.

Can Molekula supply phytin in bulk?
