Water-Soluble Vitamins
Water soluble
Readily excreted – expensive urine
Can be lost from food by cooking/storage
Typically work as part of enzymes in metabolism
Relatively high absorption rate
Severe deficiencies rare
Vitamins – Niacin, Thiamine, Folic Acid, Riboflavin, B12,
and C.
Enrichment Act of 1941 and 1998
Milling of rice, wheat, oats, etc…
significantly reduces nutritional quality
Whole grains contain original nutrients
Enrich with
thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, iron
Enriched grains still
deficient in B-6, magnesium and zinc
Thiamin
Destroyed by alkaline and heat
Coenzyme: Thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP)
Absorbed in the jejunum by a carrier-mediated system
Transported by RBC in the blood
Deficiency
Beriberi
Weakness, nerve degeneration, irritability, poor
arm/leg coordination, loss of nerve transmission
Edema, enlarge heart, heart failure
Food Sources of Thiamin
Wide variety of food
White bread, pork, hot dogs, luncheon meat, cold cereal
Enriched grains/ whole grains
Thiaminase found in raw fish
1.1 mg/day for women
1.2 mg/day for men
Most exceed RDA in diet
Surplus is rapidly lost in urine; non toxic
Riboflavin
Coenzymes:
Flavin mononucleotide (FMN)
Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)
Oxidation-reduction reactions
Electron transport chain
Citric Acid Cycle
Catabolism of fatty acids
Absorption, Transport, & Metabolism of
Riboflavin
HCL in the stomach release riboflavin from its
bound forms
Absorption
Active or facilitated transport during low to
moderate intake
Passive absorption during high intake
Increase with intake
Transported by a protein carrier in the blood
Functions of Riboflavin

Succinate
Fumarate
Citric Acid Cycle
Participates in beta oxidation
FMN shuttles hydrogen ions and electrons to into the electron
transport chain
Metabolism of oxidized glutathione
Deficiency of Riboflavin
Ariboflavinosis
Glossitis, cheilosis, seborrheic dermatitis, stomatitis, eye
disorder, throat disorder, nervous system disorder

Food Sources of Biotin
Cauliflower, yolk, liver, peanuts, cheese

Unsure as to bioavailablity of synthesized biotin
We excrete more than we consume
Avidin inhibits absorption
> a dozen of raw eggs a day to cause this effect

Transamination
Synthesis of hemoglobin and oxygen binding and white blood
cells
Synthesis of neurotransmitters
Deficiency of Vitamin B-6
