DHA safety concerns in the news edit

http://gma.yahoo.com/spray-tans-safe-experts-raise-questions-industry-puts-190727621--abc-news-health.html Seems like this article needs to be updated, especially the nutritional supplement line needs to be removed- DHA food supplement is a fat, different from DHA the tanning compound.

involvement of DHA in winemaking edit

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

DHA is also formed during winemaking by ketogenesis of glycerol into dihydroxyacetone (Eschenbruch & Dittrich, 1968; Drysdale & Fleet, 1988). It can affect the sensory quality of the wine with sweet/etherish property. DHA can also react with proline to produce a "crust-like" aroma (Margalith, 1981; Drysdale & Fleet, 1988; Boulton et al., 1996). Dihysroxyacetone can affect the anti-microbial activity in wine, as it has the ability to bind SO2 (Eschenbruch & Dittrich, 1968).

Thanks, I will copy this to the article, if it is not already there. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 03:09, 1 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Research stopped during WWII? edit

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

After noting that the effect was first discovered by German scientists in the 1920s, the article stated that "World War II began, and further research in this area temporarily halted as scientists contributed their resources to the war effort." This statement seems too broad and unverifiable. Perhaps it is meant that the research of one particular scientist (Eva?) stopped during WWII? All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 03:09, 1 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

X-ray Process edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article says: "Through its use in the X-ray process, it was noted as causing the skin surface to turn brown when spilled.".

What is "the X-ray process"? And what is its role in the process?194.72.120.131 (talk) 12:31, 19 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
