Method Description:
Samples containing phytic acid are extracted with acid and reacted with phytase and phosphatase to release phosphorus. This is then quantified with a color reaction of Ammonium molybdate. Free phosphorus is subtracted from the total, and released phosphorus is determined. Phytic acid can be calculated from this release phosphorus.
