Dehydrothiamine, which fluoresces blue when exposed to UV light. A B vitamin composed of a pyrimidine ring and a thiazole ring combined through a methylene group. It is white crystal or crystalline powder; it has a weak special odor, tastes bitter, and is hygroscopic. When exposed to the air, it easily absorbs moisture. It is easy to decompose and deteriorate in alkaline solution. When the pH is 3.5, it can withstand high temperatures of 100°C. When the pH is greater than 5, it will easily fail. The potency decreases when exposed to light and heat. Therefore, it should be stored in a dark and cool place and should not be stored for a long time. It is very stable in acidic solutions, unstable in alkaline solutions, and easily destroyed by oxidation and heat. Reducing substances such as sulfite and sulfur dioxide can inactivate vitamin B1.

Polyneuritis caused by vitamin B1 deficiency causes inflammation and degeneration of peripheral nerve endings in patients, accompanied by symptoms such as numbness of the limbs, muscle atrophy, heart failure, and edema of the lower limbs.
