Abstract:

HbNO was synthesized from duck blood and sodium nitrite and the factors affecting its stability was investigated including temperature, light and exogenous additives. Massive precipitates in the aqueous HbNO solution were observed when standing at 85 ℃ for 40 minutes and total sedimentation after 40 days. Turbidity was seen rapidly in the addition of copper (II) and silver ions while no significant change with the addition of zinc (II) and iron (III). Ascorbic acid, sucrose and glycerol were found to enhance the stability of HbNO.

Key words: HbNO, absorbance, stability
