(By dry weight, nuts generally contain more
phytic acid than similar amounts of grains and legumes; however, people don't normally eat whole meals of nuts, like they do grains and legumes, so the
phytic acid is not thought to be as problematic.)
In an in vitro assay
phytic acid's ability to chelate uranium was found to be twice as high as ethane1-hydroxy-1 and 1- bisphosphonate (EHBP), 2.6 times higher than citric acid, and 16 times higher than Diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA), which have all been examined in animals as potential chelating agents for humans.
As expected, raw bean had the highest trypsin inhibitor activity, presenting a value of 13.6 units/mg sample, as well as
phytic acid (2.4%) and tannin content (0.25%).
Tetraethoxysilane,
phytic acid, 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, and tannic acid were purchased from Shanghai Chemical Reagent Company of China.
Anti-nutritional factors (trypsin inhibitors, lectins and
phytic acid) have long been recognized as concerns and require appropriate processing conditions to ameliorate adverse effects.
The process begins when the bacteria degrade an organo-phosphate compound such as glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) or
phytic acid (IP6), which can be present in subsurface soils.
The new drink, which contains citric acid, malic acid, L-cystine,
phytic acid and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), helps eliminate poisonous metals from the body while promoting adequate hydration.
