The study aims to establish a simple, rapid, and accurate colorimetric assay for quantifying phytate content in plant and food samples.
An analytical protocol was designed utilizing a colorimetric reaction to measure phytate concentrations based on optical density changes.
The assay procedure was streamlined to minimize extraction and preparation steps compared to conventional phytate determination protocols.
The colorimetric technique enables rapid, direct quantification of phytate through measurable absorbance differences.
The assay reduces processing time while maintaining sensitive detection suitable for routine agricultural and nutritional analysis.

Latta et al. (1980) studied this question.
