Abstract:

In order to determine phytic acid content in wheat bran, it was extracted with hydrochloric acid under the assistance of ultrasonic. The extraction conditions of phytic acid were optimized through single-factor and orthogonal tests. The results showed that the best extraction process was as follows: extracting wheat bran with 0.8 mol/L hydrochloric acid in 50 ℃ water bath for 1.5 h under the assistance of ultrasonic treatment at 700 W and 20 to 25 kHz for 15 min. Compared with non-ultrasonic method, the extraction time was shortened from 5 h to 1.5 h, while the phytic acid content was promoted from 5.5049% to 6.6341%.

Key words: phytic acid extraction, ultrasonic, FeCl3 titration method
