Sažetak
The phytic acid content and distribution of phosphorous during cereal flaking were determined as well as the level of some minerals, and the molar ratios of phytic acid ; zinc were calculated. statistical analyses showed that there were no differences in the amount of total phosphorous, between oats and wheat and between rye and barley. The phytic/non-phytic phosphorous ratio was about 3 in wheat and oats, about 2 in barley and about 13 in rye. The technological processing did not affect P<0.05) phytic acid content. Thje molar ratio of phytic acid : zinc for the flakes was only slightly below that of thwe whole grain, indicating that the technological process, primarily a hydrothermal treatment and flaking, did not improve zina availability.
