· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Phytic Acid
Phytic Acid , also known as inositol hexaphosphate , inositol hexakisphosphate ( IP6 ), AND inositol polyphosphate is a dihydrogenphosphate ester of inositol with the molecular formula C 6 H 18 O 24 P 6 . It is also known as a phosphorus-storage compounds primarily found in nuts, seeds, and whole grains. It serves as a way for plants to store phosphorus. When broken down in the body, it binds to chelates.
Phytic Acid can be retained and analyzed using the BIST A stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes a gradient method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN). Detection is performed using UV.
