Photoisomerization of provitamins D under influence of various ultraviolet radiation]

The influence of various sources of ultraviolet radiation on the photoisomerization of provitamins D--ergosterol and 7-dehydrocholesterol--was studied under industry-like conditions. The yield of previtamins and, consequently, vitamins D was higher with the use of erythemic lamps with luminophore E-2 and luminophore E-3 than with the use of lamps PRK-2.
