The invention relates to a method for extracting the
phytic acid from rice
bran, in particular to an extraction method for utilizing the
microwave treatment technology to obtain the
phytic acid from the rice
bran. The method of the invention comprises the steps that: the samples are treated using the
microwave with a power
ranging from 500W to 1200W after the rice
bran is broken and is extracted using the
hydrogen chloride solution; then the pH of the obtained solution is adjusted to range from 1.0 to 3.0 using the
sodium hydroxide solution and then the processed solution is driven to rest in a static state and is stirred for 0.5 to 1 hour; the beige suspension liquid is obtained through
filtration and the pH of the filtrate is first adjusted to 4.0 using the 10 per cent
calcium hydroxide emulsion and then the pH of the processed solution is adjusted to exceed 7.0 using the
sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 1mol / L instead of 10 per cent
calcium hydroxide
emulsion so as to obtian the beige turbid liquid in which the white precipitates are contained; the beige turbid liquid is stirred uniformly before the turbid liquid rests for 1 to 2 hours so as to completely precipitate the turbid liquid; after the turbid liquid is filtered, the intermediates,
calcium phytate pulps
ranging from grey to drab in color, are obtained; the intermediates are converted into the existence in the form of ions through
dissolution and then the phytic acids, which are the final products, are prepared through
ion exchange, decoloration and concentration. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages of high extraction rate, short time, high product quality, excellent color, simple and convenient operation, suitability for the industrialized production, etc.
