Table 2: Cystine quantification on hair treated and exposed to solar radiation.
Treatment | Amount of cystine (%)† |
F1 | 5.2 (± 0.11) |
F2 | < 0.7 |
F3 | < 0.7 |
F4 | < 0.7 |
F5 | < 0.7 |
F6 | 18.9 (± 4.55) |
F7 | 28.7 (± 7.23) |
Positive Control | < 0.7 |
Negative Control | < 0.7 |
Results expressed as mean ± standard deviation; Positive Control: Treatment sample with 20% w/w aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate solution; Negative Control: Hair sample without danger type of treatment;
†0.7% corresponds to the limit of quantification of cystine in the analytical solution corrected for dilutions made of the hair.
