A study of the photolysis of folic acid in aqueous solution by visible radiation in the presence of riboflavin has been made. The second-order rate constants for the bimolecular interaction of folic acid and riboflavin have been determined in the

The known functions of folate are to support one-carbon metabolism and to serve as photoreceptors for cryptochromes and photolyases. We demonstrate that 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF, the predominant folate in plasma) is also a potent, near diffusion limited, scavenger of singlet oxygen

Encapsulation provides efficient approaches to increase stability and delivery of poorly soluble bioactive components, predominantly for fortification of beverages and similar liquid-based foods. In this study, folic acid was encapsulated within conventional and emulsion-templated alginate-pectin hydrogels, proliposomes, and a combination

DNA damage mediated by photosensitizers participates in solar carcinogenesis. Fluorescence measurement and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis demonstrated that photoirradiated folic acid, one of the photosensitizers in cells, generates pterine-6-carboxylic acid (PCA). Experiments using 32P-labeled DNA fragments obtained from a human
