Riboflavin in Nutrition, Food Processing, and Analysis - A Review

Abstract: <p>Riboflavin is an essential micronutrient in the human diet. Because riboflavin is water soluble and not stored in appreciable amounts in the body, sources of riboflavin must be constantly consumed. In the United States many cereal grains are being fortified with riboflavin. In this review we briefly discuss the chemistry of riboflavin, the role of riboflavin in nutrition and health, effects of food processing and storage and means of measuring riboflavin in food and animal feeds.</p>

“…The effect of the tested antioxidants, added individually or in different combination, was firstly evaluated in MW samples stored without light exposure. As expected, RF was still present (193.5 ± 13.5 µg/L), which is not surprising since RF is relatively stable to heat-treatments, dehydration and usual food storage conditions [34,35]. In contrast, this compound is extremely sensitive to visible or UV light.…”

“…Acorn flour contains 0.13 mg/100 g of vitamin B2 (Rybicka & Gliszczyńska‐Świgło, 2017b) and 114 μg/100 g of folate (USDA, 2019). Given that the raw material of flours and cereal products is characterized by a relatively low content of vitamin B2 and, therefore, is often enriched with vitamin B2, acorn flour can be used as a natural vitamin enriching additive, especially in rice products (Golbach, Ricke, O'Bryan, & Crandall, 2014; Pinto & Zempleni, 2016). Folate is found in cereals and flours made from them, but since white rice and maize products are particularly poor in folate (WHO, 2004), acorn flour can be an enriching ingredient.…”

“…An earlier observation had stated that thiamine stability in alkaline solution is relatively low and is usually influenced by pH, temperature, ionic strength and metallic ions (Gregory, 2008). In the case of riboflavin, its reduction may be attributed to its water solubility property, but relatively stable under normal high temperature food processing conditions (Golbach et al, 2014). The leaching tendency of niacin into the boiling water could be responsible for its reduction level as observed in lima bean processing with trona solution.…”
