Extract

1. The precipitation of calcium, magnesium, phytate phosphorus, and non-phytate (chiefly phosphate) phosphorus has been determined in ‘hydrolysed’ and ‘unhydrolysed’ bran, with varying amounts of added calcium as calcium carbonate.

2. It was found that calcium phytate was precipitated before non-phytate (chiefly phosphate), whatever level of calcium carbonate was added.

3. Precipitation began and was more complete under more acid conditions when calcium and Ca: P ratio were high.

4. Similar experiments have been carried out using salt solutions containing calcium and phytate, calcium and phosphate, and calcium, phytate, and phosphate. The results were similar in most cases to those of corresponding bran mixtures.

5. The above results have been considered in relation to the precipitations which are likely to occur in the small intestine, and the possible effects of these precipitations on absorption are discussed.
