Effect of heat treatments on the phytic acid content of maize products

Abstract: Processing of maize (Zea mays L fresh and dry) for the production of various traditional products results in the loss of phytic acid. Fresh mature corn contains less phytic acid (1.71 g kg-') than dry corn (7.15-7.60 g kg-I). The loss of phytic acid varies from 18.1 to 46.7 % for fresh maize and from 11-5 to 52.6 % for dry maize respectively among the heat treatments given. From a nutritional viewpoint, consumption of maize as chapati and after roasting in a sand bath or on charcoal will improue the availubili… Show more

“…The value of phytate for Var-113 was much higher than those reported for white and yellow corn (Marfo et al 1990) but much lower than that of TL-98B-6225-9×TL617. Khan et al (1991) reported very high levels Results obtained in this study showed a linear relation between phytic acid and total phosphorus. Raboy et al (1991) concluded that, in various seeds, phytic acid positively correlates with total phosphorus, correlation coefficients for some cultivars being greater than 0.90.…”

“…In addition, Elhardallou and Walker (11) proposed that the smaller decrease of phytate contents found in cooked broad beans, compared to butter beans and lentils, was due to the formation of relatively large amounts of insoluble phytate complexes. In maize, the loss of phytic acid during thermal treatment at a higher moisture content results in a greater loss than that under a similar dry thermal treatment (64). Mosha et al (65) showed that both conventional and microwave blanching of vegetables resulted in a significant reduction of phytic acid.…”

“…Similarly, there was a decrease in phytic acid content from tofu A to tofu B and from tofu C to tofu D. Increase in temperature may be the reason behind it. Khan et al, 36 reported loss of phytic acid from 18.1% to 46.7% for fresh maize and 11.5 to 52.6% for dry maize during heat processing of maize. …”
