The Introduction of 1,3-Dihydroxya cetone

         Dihydroxya cetone is an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H6O3, which is a polyhydroxyketose and the simplest ketose. The appearance is a white powdery crystal, easily soluble in organic solvents such as water, ethanol, eer, and a cetone. The melting point is 75-80 ℃, and the water solubility is>250g/L (20 ℃). It has a sweet taste and is stable at a pH of 6.0.

The Application & Function of 1,3-Dihydroxya cetone

Dihydroxya cetone is an important chemical raw material, pharmaceutical intermediate, and functional additive. Its uses are mainly divided into two categories: direct use and indirect use (chemical intermediates).

Direct use

Dihydroxya cetone is a naturally occurring ketose that is biodegradable, edible, and non-toxic to the human body and environment. It is a multifunctional additive that can be used in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and food industries.

Used in the cosmetics industry

Dihydroxya cetone is mainly used as a formula ingredient in cosmetics, especially as a sunscreen with special effects, which can prevent excessive evaporation of skin moisture, and play a role in moisturizing, sun protection, and UV radiation protection. In addition, the ketone functional groups in DHA can react with the amino acids and amino groups of skin keratin to form a brown polymer, causing people's skin to produce an artificial brown color. Therefore, it can also be used as a simulant for sun exposure to obtain brown or brownish skin that looks the same as the result of long-term exposure to sunlight, making it look beautiful.

Improve lean meat percentage of pigs

Dihydroxya cetone is an intermediate product of sugar metabolism, playing an important role in the process of sugar metabolism, reducing pig body fat and improving lean meat rate. Japanese scientific and technological personnel have demonstrated through experiments that adding a certain amount of DHA and a mixture of pyruvate (calcium salt) in pig feed (in a 3:1 weight ratio) can reduce the fat content of pig back meat by 12% to 15%, and the fat content of leg meat and the longest back muscle is also correspondingly reduced, with an increase in protein content.

For functional foods

Dihydroxya cetone supplementation (especially in combination with pyruvate) can improve the metabolic rate and fatty acid oxidation of the body, potentially effectively burn fat to reduce body fat and delay weight gain (weight loss effect), reduce the incidence rate of related diseases, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the plasma cholesterol level caused by high cholesterol diet, and long-term supplementation can increase the utilization rate of blood sugar and save muscle glycogen, For athletes, it can improve their aerobic endurance performance.

Other uses

Dihydroxya cetone can also be directly used as an antiviral reagent. For example, in chicken embryo culture, the use of DHA can greatly inhibit the infection of chicken distemper virus, killing 51% to 100% of the virus. In the leather industry, DHA can be used as a protective agent for leather products. In addition, preservatives mainly composed of DHA can be used for the preservation and preservation of fruits and vegetables, aquatic products, and meat products.
