Formation of Niacin from Niacinamide Based on Different Temperatures and pH
Effects of different pH and temperature conditions on the formation of niacin from nicotinamide in aqueous solutions composed of 5%niacinamide and 5 functional raw materials,including ascorbic acid(VC),3-o-ethylascorbic acid(VCE),tranexamic acid,carnosine,and acetylchitosan(NAG)were investigated in this paper.The results showed that,the formation of niacin was promoted at high temperature of 45℃and pH<5.0 in the niacinamide buffer system;the formation of niacin was promoted by compounding VC and VCE,respectively;it was inhibited by compounding tranexamic acid,carnosine,and NAG,respectively.
