Abstract
A simple, qualitative procedure for detecting the photodegradation of riboflavin in milk exposed to sunlight is reported. Lumichrome (7,8-dimethylalloxazine) was identified by mass spectrometry as the major product of the photodegradation.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
