Abstract

The degradation of phenylalanine in an acidic aqueous solution (pH 3) with a concentration of 1.33 × 10–3 mol/L under the action of UV radiation of a 253.7 nm mercury lamp, hydroxyl radicals generated by cold plasma of a corona electric discharge, and hydroperoxyl radicals formed in water under the action of pulsed radiation of a hot plasma was studied. The degradation product identified by the fluorescence method is tyrosine. The quantum yields of phenylalanine degradation and tyrosine formation in solutions saturated and depleted in atmospheric oxygen were determined. Possible reaction mechanisms were considered.
