Abstract

Myo-inositol hexaphosphate (phytate, IP6) is a natural compound used in the plant kingdom as a storage form of phosphorus. For instance, it stores ~75% of total phosphorous in kernels [1], whereas this percentage is lower in tubers and roots (~0.1%) [2]. As a result, seeds of many vegetables (but specially cereals, legumes or nuts) are the primary dietary sources of IP6 [3]. Consequently, the IP6 daily intake in humans varies from 0.18 to 4.57g, depending on the style diet (e.g. low in normal Western diets and high in vegetarian diets), and on the processing level of the food [3] since phytaseshydrolyze IP6 in food [4].
