STUDIES OF SOME PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE DIHYDROXYACETONE COLOR COMPLEX

[摘要] The color product(s) formed by dihydroxyacetone was studied in its crystalline phase by phase contrast micros-copy, polarization, fluorescence, infrared and ultraviolet absorption and by color transmission. In addition, the colored products formed in human skin after application of dihydroxyacetone were studied by surface microscopy, microscopic sections and by color reflectance.
