"the yellow stains on skin caused by nitric acid are the result of a xanthoprotein reaction." Xanthoproteic acid forms when nitric acid reacts with amino acids on the skin, and this reaction produces theyellow tint.

The nitric acid stains the skin yellow due to the xanthoproteic reaction .In this process, the amount of protein present in a solution is found by using nitric acid.
