Kojic acid and its 5,7-diethyl ester derivatives exhibit certain absorption peaks at 315nm and 255nm, specifically.
Kojic acid is unpredictable to light and heat. When a 0.5% concentration of Kojic acid solution is dealt with at 100 ℃ for 3 hours or exposed to sunlight for 5 hours at various pH worths, the option turns pale yellow to yellow brownish in the pH range of 5-7, while there is little adjustment at pH 4.
