The Claim
Chemical compounds that target the INO1 enzyme reduce phytic acid levels in rice and wheat grains by inhibiting the enzyme's active site, demonstrating cross-species efficacy due to high conservation of catalytic residues.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Specific chemicals that bind to the INO1 enzyme can lower phytic acid content in rice and wheat grains, because the enzyme's active site is similar enough in both plants for the same chemicals to work on both.
See the scientific wording
Chemical compounds targeting the INO1 enzyme reduce phytic acid in both rice and wheat grains by inhibiting its active site, demonstrating cross-species efficacy due to high conservation of the enzyme’s catalytic residues.
A chemical compound binds to a specific spot on a key enzyme in developing rice and wheat seeds, stopping it from making a building block needed to produce phytic acid. Without this building block, the plant can't make much phytic acid, which lets minerals like iron and zinc stay available for absorption.
What the research says
1 studyScientists found that the same chemical pills can lower phytic acid in both rice and wheat, because the target enzyme in both plants is very similar—so the pills work on both, just like a key that fits two similar locks.
