Buy Sodium phytate CAS 14306-25-3 Suppliers, Product

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.
