The approval of use of certain food-grade phosphates as food additives in a wide variety of meat products greatly stimulated research on the applications of phosphates in foods. At present, phosphate addition to meat products can not exceed 0.5% of final product weight. Phytic acid is a natural plant inositol hexaphosphate constituting 1~5% of most cereals, nuts, legumes, oil seeds, pollen, and spores and it is very stable polyphosphorylated carbohydrate the majority of which is not degraded during transit through the human gastrointestinal tract.
