Zusammenfassung

Die photochemische Stabilität von Curcumin wurde untersucht und die Hauptprodukte der Spaltung identifiziert. Die Abbau- und Halbzeit-Reaktionen des Curcumins in verschiedenen Lösungsmitteln und im festen Zustand werden beschrieben.

Summary

The photodecomposition of curcumin when exposed to UV/visible radiation is studied. The main degradation products are identified. The reaction mechanisms are investigated and the order of the over-all degradation reactions and the half-lives of curcumin in different solvents and in the solid state are determined.
