Product Description

Product Introduction

Sodium phytate is a naturally derived organic phosphate extracted from plants. It strongly chelates various metal ions while offering antioxidant, color-protection, and fresh-keeping properties. Widely used in food preservation, cosmetics (as a chelating agent), feed antioxidants, metal rust prevention and passivation, as well as textile dyeing and water treatment, it is safe, eco-friendly, and biodegradable. Multiple grades are currently in stock and ready for immediate supply.

Application Areas

1. Food Industry
  • Meat products, canned foods, and seafood: Chelates iron ions to prevent meat discoloration and fat oxidation/rancidity, thereby extending shelf life.
  • Fruit & vegetable beverages, juices, and fruit wines: Inhibits enzymatic browning, prevents color changes and precipitation in juices, and stabilizes color and flavor.
  • Grains, oils, pastries, and snacks: Provides antioxidant protection, delays oil deterioration, and prolongs storage time.
  • Condiments and sauces: Protects color and freshness while inhibiting off-flavors caused by metal ions.
2. Cosmetics & Daily Chemical Industry
  • Shampoos, conditioners, creams, serums, and masks: Serves as an EDTA-2Na alternative by chelating heavy metal ions in water, preventing skincare products from discoloration or separation.
  • Antioxidant skincare: Scavenges free radicals, brightens skin tone, and delays oxidative aging.
  • Toothpaste & oral care products: Stabilizes the paste and reduces irritation caused by metal ions.
3. Feed Additives
  • Acts as an antioxidant and preservative for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feed.
  • Inhibits the oxidative rancidity of feed oils and protects vitamins from degradation.
  • Chelates heavy metals to reduce accumulation in animals and improves feed utilization efficiency.
4. Industrial Fine Chemicals
  • Metal surface treatment: Used as a passivation and anti-rust agent for stainless steel and aluminum. Forms a protective film, serving as an eco-friendly alternative to highly polluting chromium-based passivation solutions.
  • Water treatment & detergents: A phosphate-free chelating agent that softens water and enhances cleaning power.
  • Textile dyeing & printing: Acts as a color-fixing and color-protecting auxiliary, reducing metal-ion-induced color spots on fabrics.
5. Pharmaceuticals, Health Supplements, & Biochemical Reagents
  • Health supplements: Serves as an antioxidant excipient and a stabilizer for oral liquids and tablets.
  • Biochemical reagents: Used as a standard reagent for biochemical testing and ion analysis experiments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is Sodium Phytate and what is its primary function?
Sodium phytate is a plant-derived organic phosphate. Its primary function is strong metal ion chelation, along with offering antioxidant, color-protection, and fresh-keeping benefits across various applications.
Q2: What purities of Sodium Phytate are available?
We supply multiple purity grades including 75%, 96%, 98%, and 99% to suit different industrial, cosmetic, and food-grade requirements.
Q3: How does Sodium Phytate work in cosmetic formulations?
In cosmetics, it acts as a natural alternative to EDTA-2Na. It chelates metal ions in water to prevent formula separation or discoloration while neutralizing free radicals to enhance skin brightness and delay oxidative aging.
Q4: Why is Sodium Phytate used in the food industry?
It inhibits enzymatic browning, prevents rancidity and oxidation in fats/oils, preserves natural food colors, and extends the shelf life of meats, beverages, canned goods, and snacks.
Q5: Is Sodium Phytate safe and environmentally friendly?
Yes, Sodium Phytate is naturally derived from plants, safe, eco-friendly, and fully biodegradable. It is often used as a green alternative to toxic chemicals like chromium-based passivation solutions.
Q6: What are the storage requirements for Sodium Phytate?
It should be kept sealed and stored in a cool, dry location protected from moisture, direct sunlight, and direct contact with metal containers.
