Round 1: and Author Response The article titled “Thermal behavior and free-radical-scavenging activity of phytic acid alone and incorporated in galenic emulsions” is focused on the characterization of phytic acid stability and use in cosmetic formulas.
From the experimental results that phytic acid will decrease the thermal stability of the emulsion, but at line 220 mention that phytic acid has the effect of lipid peroxidation and therefore can be added as an anti-oxidant in the emulsion. So we recommend authors to describe these two points much clearer.
