GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS |
||
| Dihydroxyacetone, a triose, is the simplest and only ketoses that has no optical activity. The other triose is glyceraldehyde which is is isomeric with dihydroxyacetone. They are intermediate compounds in carbohydrate metabolism and biosynthesis of lipids. Dihydroxyacetone reacts with proteins in the skin resulting forming brown compounds and used as an active ingredient of sunless tanner in cosmetics. It is a white crystalline powder; melting point 80 C; soluble in water and alcohol; used in medicine, fungicides and plasticizers. | ||
