Phytic acid o se vai viscous e leai se lanu po o sina lanu samasama, e faigofie ona solu i le vai, 95% ethanol, acetone, soluble i anhydrous ethanol, methanol, toetoe lava a le mafai ona solu i le anhydrous eter, benzene, hexane ma chloroform.
O lona vaifofo vai e faigofie ona faʻafefeteina pe a vevela, ma o le maualuga o le vevela, o le faigofie foi lea ona sui lanu.
E 12 ion hydrogen dissociable.
O le vaifofo e acidic ma e malosi chelating gafatia.
O se fa'aopoopoga fa'asologa fa'aolaola fa'aola fa'atasi ma galuega fa'apitoa fa'aletino ma mea tau vaila'au.
I le avea ai o se sui chelating, antioxidant, faʻasao, faʻatumauina lanu, faʻamalulu vai, faʻavavevave faʻafefe, faʻamaʻi faʻamaʻi uʻamea, ma isi.
E faʻaaogaina lautele i meaʻai, vailaʻau, vali ma faʻapipiʻi, pisinisi kemikolo i aso uma, puipuiga o le siosiomaga, togafitiga uʻamea, togafitiga vai, alamanuia ie, alamanuia palasitika ma polymer synthesis alamanuia ma isi alamanuia.
