Vitamins

Vitamins are defined as a biologically active group of organic compounds with a relatively low molecular weight, minor, but essential for an organism's normal health and growth. Humans need to obtain them from food or supplements including fruit and vegetables, fish, meat, cereals, nuts and dairy products. Moreover, some foods are artificially enriched with added vitamins. Supplements offered as tablets or powders can contribute to an optimal vitamin supply, too. Vitamins are essential for metabolism, energy production, the immune system and the cell formation in our body. A lack of vitamins may cause deficiency symptoms such as circulatory disturbance, metabolic disorder, anemia or muscular atrophy. Therefore, the analysis of vitamins in food is very important for human health. Vitamin analysis determines the content and levels of vitamins in food, drink, raw materials or ingredients, usually carried out by sophisticated chemical analysis such as chromatography and mass spectrometry. It's significant for product development, nutritional analysis and understanding the effects of food processes on vitamin content.
