The analysis of phytates in extrudates containing rye bran was done by a colorimetric method with the Wade reagent. The changes in profiles of myo-inositol phosphates indicate that, although no isomers with positive physiological functions (such as I(1,4,5)P3, I(1,2,3)P3 or I(1,3,4,5)P4) were formed, the beneficial impact of extrusion is the reduction of phytates, as compared to the raw material. The obtained snacks containing rye bran received acceptable to desirable sensory scores.
