Phytic acid (PA)3 or myo-inositol hexakisphosphate is a common constituent of plants; it is stored largely as a complex salt of Mg2+, K+, together with proteins within subcelllular single-membrane particles in grains and seeds. This molecule is an inhibitor of mineral absorption because the negative charges of the phosphate groups form insoluble salts upon interaction with di- and trivalent cations. Phytate thus causes deficiencies in minerals such as Ca, Fe and Zn when present in excess in the human diet (Maga 1982 ). To improve mineral bioavailability, PA levels may be decreased by phytase, an enzyme that catalyzes the stepwise hydrolysis of phytate to phosphate and inositol via penta- to monophosphates.
