Zusammenfassung

Es wurde die Kinetik des pH-abhängigen Curcumin-Abbaus untersucht. Eine Darstellung der Geschwindigkeitskonstante gegen die pH-Werte liefert die pKa-Werte des sauren Protonen. Diese Kurve zeigt aber gleichzeitig die Komplexität des Curcumin-Abbaus an.

Summary

The kinetics of the pH-dependant degradation of curcumin has been investigated. A plot of the rate constant against pH indicates the pKa values of the acid protons. The graph also indicates the complexity of the curcumin degradation.
