Sodium Phytate(CAS: 14306-25-3)

Sodium phytate, with the CAS number 14306-25-3, is a salt of phytic acid. It has the chemical formula C6H11Na2O14P2 and is commonly used as a chelating agent and dietary supplement. It is water-soluble, stable in acidic and neutral conditions, and exhibits antioxidant properties.

Sodium phytate is widely used in the food industry as a natural preservative and anti-caking agent. It also finds applications in pharmaceuticals for its chelating properties, in industrial processes for metal removal, and in research for studying mineral bioavailability and antioxidant effects.

Sodium phytate is generally considered safe when used in appropriate amounts. It is non-toxic and has low acute toxicity. However, proper handling and storage are recommended to avoid potential irritation and ensure compliance with safety regulations in industrial and research settings.

Sodium phytate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light. It is stable under normal storage conditions but should be kept in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid exposure to high temperatures and humidity to maintain its chemical integrity and effectiveness.
