ʻO ka phytic acid he wai viscous kala ʻole a melemele iki paha, hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka wai, 95% ethanol, acetone, hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka ethanol anhydrous, methanol, aneane hiki ʻole ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka ether anhydrous, benzene, hexane a me chloroform.
Hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia kona wai wai i ka wā wela, a ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka mahana, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke kala.
Aia he 12 ion hydrogen dissociable.
He ʻakika ka hopena a loaʻa iā ia ka mana chelating ikaika.
He mea koʻikoʻi ka mea hoʻohui phosphorus organik me nā hana physiological kūikawā a me nā waiwai kemika.
Ma ke ʻano he chelating agent, antioxidant, preservative, waihoʻoluʻu waihoʻoluʻu, mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai, fermentation accelerator, metala anti-corrosion inhibitor, etc.,
Hoʻohana nui ʻia ia i ka meaʻai, ka lāʻau lapaʻau, ka pena a me ka uhi ʻana, ka ʻoihana kemika i kēlā me kēia lā, ka mālama ʻana i ke kaiapuni, ka mālama metala, ka mālama wai, ka ʻoihana textile, ka ʻoihana plastik a me ka ʻoihana polymer synthesis a me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe.
