1,3-Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), CAS 96-26-4, is a simple ketose sugar widely utilized in food-grade formulations. Synthesized via enzymatic or chemical oxidation of glycerol, its molecular formula is C3H6O3. This white crystalline powder serves as a critical precursor for self-tanning agents and metabolic intermediates.
Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent hygroscopic clumping. Avoid inhalation of dust; wear protective gloves during handling. Not approved for direct intravenous injection without pharmaceutical-grade purification.
