Age at death determination based on the extent of aspartic acid racemization in dentin has been reported to be highly accurate and reproducible. To test the applicability of this method to human bone, aspartic acid racemization in noncollagenous proteins of bone was investigated. A close relationshi

## Abstract The determination of age on the basis of aspartic acid (Asp) racemization in teeth is one of the most reliable and accurate methods to date. In this paper, the usefulness of HPLC coupled with fluorescence detection for determination of Asp racemization was evaluated. A modified sample p
The rate of racemization of aspartic acid is considered to be influenced by environmental factors. The influence of pH (4 and 9) on teeth was investigated by a heating experiment for precise estimation of age at death. The rate of racemization of aspartic acid in dentin (D/L ratio) was determined by
