Uses and synthesis of Retinal powder

Retinal powder, also known as retinaldehyde, is an important organic compound. Retinal is a yellow crystal that is soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water. Retinal has important functions in biology, especially in the visual system. Retinal is an essential component of the optic nerve for transmitting signals, which can bind opsin to generate photoreceptors and participate in the visual process. Retinal is also involved in physiological processes such as vitamin A metabolism, cell differentiation and immune regulation.

Applications/Functions of Retinal powder

1. Retinal powder is an essential component of optic nerve to transmit signals, which can bind opsin to generate photoreceptors and participate in visual processes.
2. Retinal is also involved in physiological processes such as vitamin A metabolism, cell differentiation and immune regulation.

Physicochemical Property of Retinal powder

There are 16 stereoisomers. Thirteen have been chemically synthesized, of which the 11-cis-isomer is the chromogenic substance in natural opsins.

Production methodprocess of Retinal powder

Retinal powder is obtained by oxidation of vitamin A in the liver of animals, and the other is prepared by synthetic chemistry.
