Abstract
An apparatus and a method for soaking foodstuff in a liquid under set acid pH conditions of the liquid is described. The foodstuff is soaked in the liquid so as to reduce a content of phytic acid and/or phytate contained in the foodstuff. The apparatus has a vessel for receiving the foodstuff and the liquid for soaking the foodstuff within the vessel. The apparatus further has an amount determining system which is configured to determine an amount of the liquid and/or an amount of the foodstuff to be used for the soaking within the vessel. Further, the apparatus has a pH adjusting system configured to perform an electrolysis of at least a portion of the liquid for adjusting a pH level of the liquid.
