Description

Dihydroxyacetone, also known as DHA or glycerone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are compounds containing one carbohydrate unit not glycosidically linked to another such unit, and no set of two or more glycosidically linked carbohydrate units. Monosaccharides have the general formula CnH2nOn. Dihydroxyacetone is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Dihydroxyacetone exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
