The yellowing work of H
2O
2 produced by exposing aqueous tyrosine, tryptphane and their mixed solutions to light was studied.
First, from the spectro-trasmittance of these amino acid solutions added and without H
2O
2 in advance, exposed to the light emitted by the weather meter for various time intervals, the dominant wavelengths corresponding to hue of these solutions was determined.
As the results, the dominant wavelengths of these solutions with H
2O
2 were similar to these without H
2O
2. In regard to the yellowing speed of the mixed solutions with H
2O
2, the empirical formula as to function existing between percentage transmittance
T (%) or luminosity
Y (%) and exposure time t (hr) is well represented by our familiar formula of the mixed solution without H
2O
2, that is,
T (
Y)=
a (
t-
k)
-b. But in this case the additional constant k equals zero. And so, as soon as it is exposed to the light it makes an appearance of color. Next, the produced quantities of H
2O
2 and the yellowing by exposing of these amino acid solutions to light for various time intervals were examined.
In consequence, H
2O
2 yields are closely connected with the yellowing degree, induction periods and photosensitization of these solutions. Accordingly the yellowing of tyrosine and tryptphane series by light are dominated by H
2O
2 yield as the initiator of coloring.
