French term

ASH

French to English Science Medical: Pharmaceuticals thermal characterisation of drugs
I am translating an article on thermal characterisation of pharma products before lyophilisation ie seeing how properties change at different temperatures.
The term ASH appears in a table in various test formulations eg *NaCl (0.9%) + ASH (0.5%)*. I am not clear whether ASH refers to 'cendres' or is a French abbreviation of a chemical. However I have had no luck finding such an abbreviation.

Any suggestions appreciated.
Proposed translations (English)
3 +4 Human serum albumin
4 ASH
3 cendres

Thanks Althea! I think your suggestion is right but have to wait 24 hrs before selecting it.
Sue Davis (asker) May 27, 2022:
Hi Anne I did think ASH as in cendres was unlikely! But for obvious reasons my searches were turning up all sorts of unrelated information. I am pretty sure human serum albumin is right.
Alison MacG May 27, 2022:
Agree with Althea - HSA You should post an answer, Althea.

What else is there in the formulations? Many ashes would not dissolve in isotonic saline.

Albumine sérique humaine?

ASH

It seems to refer to the H+/As ratio
Example sentence:

où se produisent deux réactions concurrentes produisant respectivement de l'arsine et de l'hydrogène gazeux, et une anode (3), où se produit une réaction source d'ions H+, caractérisé en ce que le rapport des concentrations H+/As à la cathode (7)

ions, where two concurrent reactions take place respectively producing gaseous arsine and hydrogen, and an anode (3), where a reaction takes place which is a source of H+ ions, characterized in that the ratio of the H+/As concentrations at the cathode (7

cendres

I think it's 'cendres (ash)':
Halite (NaCl) is major soluble Cl− in coarser bottom ash particles (0.125–4 mm) - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004565351...
The white ash was dissolved in 5 ml of HCI 6 M and dried on the hot plate. - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/fsn3.2216
3.2.Ash content - https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1755-1315/667/1/0...
Pay attention to the phrase 'ash content:'
Chemical treatment (L) (L1: NaHCO3 6%; L2: CH3COOH 20%; L3:
NaCl 10%) also showed a very significant effect (P≤0.01) on the percentage of ash content produced in
kimpul tuber flour. - the samee link
