choline

Question 2

Name the vitamins

Answer 2

thiamin (b1), riboflavin (b2), niacin (b3), biotin, folate, b6(PLP), b12, panthothenic acid(coa, acyl carrier protein), vit c, vit E, and choline(acetycholine, sphingomyelin)

Question 3

Name vitamin active forms.

Answer 3

thiamin -- TDP, TPP
Riboflavin -- FMN, FAD
niacin -- NAD, NADP
biotin -- biotin
pantothenic acid -- CoA, acyl carrier protein
folate -- methyl-THF
b12 -- b12
b6 -- PLP

Nixtamalization treatment releases tryptophan, a niacin-equivalent
Riboflavin is light-sensitive
Pyridoxine & niacin are heat-stable(b6,b2)
