A stabilized composition of phytic acid is obtained by the steps of: heating and drying rice bran de-fatted by pressing; adding acidic water, e.g. containing liquid phytic acid, of pH 3 to 5 to the dried rice bran, stirring the solution and completing the stirring before the pH of the solution reaches 5.7; and heating , e.g. to boiling, the thus obtained liquid extract to solidify protein components, followed by the removal of the solid matter by filtration. This composition is, e.g. as a powder, or in a tablet or capsule, useful for removing uraroma and body odor. |
