A method is described for the determination of physic acid in various plant materials and feeds based on isotachophoresis. The electrophoretic migration properties of physic acid, the lower inositol phosphates, and phosphate were investigated in various buffering systems. It was found that the electrolyte system consisting of 0.01 mol/L hydrochloric acid, 0.0056 mol/L bis-tris-propane (pH 6.1) as leading electrolyte, and 0.005 mol/L 2-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid as terminating electrolyte is most appropriate for the analysis of phytic acid in real samples using a volume-coupling isotachophoretic instrument. Calibration was carried out in the concentration range between 10(-5) and 1.2 X 10(-4) mol/L. The detection limit was less than 10(-6) mol/L, which corresponds to a phytic acid content of the samples of less than 0.08%. The precision of the determinations including sample pretreatment, expressed by the relative standard deviation, was 3.8%.
