Common_NameDihydroxyacetone
DescriptionA ketotriose compound. Its addition to blood preservation solutions results in better maintenance of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate levels during storage. It is readily phosphorylated to dihydroxyacetone phosphate by triokinase in erythrocytes. In combination with naphthoquinones it acts as a sunscreening agent. -- Pubchem; Dihydroxyacetone (also known as DHA) is a triose carbohydrate with chemical formula C3H6O3. It is the simplest of all ketoses and, having no chiral centre, is the only one that has no optical activity. -- Wikipedia; Dihydroxyacetone is a simple non-toxic sugar. It is often derived from plant sources such as sugar beets and sugar cane, by the fermentation of glycerin; it is a white crystalline powder which is water soluble. -- Wikipedia
