Reaktionsschritte

The new chemical compound is produced by: (1) slowly adding 0.33 kg of calcium carbonate in increments of 0.1 kg to 0.87 kg of phytic acid liquid; (2) heating and refluxing for one hour at 90 degrees Celsius; (3) separating the two solids by filtration; (4) gathering the white solid, which is calcium phytate; (5) dissolving 1 kg of calcium phytate into 2.0 liters of water; (6) heating to 89 degrees Celsius for 10–15 minutes until calcium phytate is dissolved in solution; (7) adding and stirring 0.90 kg of citric acid to solution until dissolved in solution; (8) removing heat source and setting solution in a refrigerated environment at a temperature of 5–10 degrees Celsius allowing crystallization for approximately 6 to 8 hours or until crystallization has ceased; (9) allowing the mixture to dry out at room temperature (75 degrees Celsius) until no liquid is visible, and (10) spreading crystals into a drying pan for approximately 24 hours at a temperature of no more than 40 degrees Celsius yielding approximately 1.2 kg of hexa-citrated phytate.
