:Dihydroxyacetone
Description:
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a simple carbohydrate and a ketone with the molecular formula C3H6O3. It is a colorless, odorless, and hygroscopic compound that is soluble in water and alcohol. DHA is primarily known for its role in the cosmetic industry, particularly in self-tanning products, as it reacts with amino acids in the skin to produce a temporary browning effect. This reaction is known as the Maillard reaction. In addition to its cosmetic applications, DHA is also utilized in the food industry as a sweetener and flavoring agent. The compound is stable under normal conditions but can undergo oxidation if exposed to air. Its safety profile is generally favorable, with low toxicity, making it suitable for topical applications. However, as with any chemical, proper handling and usage guidelines should be followed to minimize any potential risks. Overall, dihydroxyacetone is a versatile compound with significant applications in both personal care and food industries.

CAS:<p>1,3-Dihydroxyacetone is a chemical compound that has been used as a reactant in the synthesis of glycerol. It is the simplest ketone formed from glycerol and a hydroxyl group. The reaction mechanism for the formation of 1,3-dihydroxyacetone involves the reaction of metal hydroxides with glycerol to form an intermediate product, which then reacts with hydrogen peroxide to produce dihydroxyacetone. 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone is also an analytical reagent for phosphorus pentoxide due to its acidic properties. Structural analysis and surface methodology have been used to determine the intramolecular hydrogen bonding between hydroxyl groups on the 1,3-dihydroxyacetone molecule.</p>Formula:C3H6O3Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White PowderMolecular weight:90.08 g/mol
