Bioavailability and Analysis of Vitamins in Foods

Abstract

In the context of human and animal nutrition, vitamins are physiologically active substances. To assess the nutritional value of a food commodity or diet with respect to a particular vitamin it is necessary to determine the vitamin’s biological activity. Biological activity refers to the ability of a nutrient to fulfil a specific biological function or metabolic requirement. The only direct means of determining biological activity is a bioassay based on biological function. Such assays were the means by which the vitamins were originally recognized. They are still required today to measure the biopotency of new vitamin derivatives and food supplements, as well as validating new nonbiological assay methods.
