Most of the thiamine sold worldwide is used for dietary supplements. Primary market areas include the following appHcations addition to feed formulations, eg, poultry, pigs, catde, and fish (see Feeds and feed additives) fortification of refined foods, eg, flours, rice, and cereal products and incorporation into multivitamins. Small amounts are used in medicine to treat deficiency diseases and other conditions, in agriculture as an additive to ferti1i2ers (qv), and in foods as flavorings. Generally for dry formulations, the less soluble, nonhygroscopic nitrate is preferred. Only the hydrochloride can be used for intravenous purposes. Coated thiamine is used where flavor is a factor. 

The beneficial effects of dietary fiber, including both soluble and iasoluble fiber, are generally recognized.

Schmid and Richter (2000) showed that the premium prices for organic food were highest for fruit and vegetables (60% to 70%) and lowest for cheese (20%) and cereal products (31%). The premium prices for organic meat were 52% above conventional and for milk were 42%. The reason given by sales staff for the big price differential for fruit and vegetables was that these products cannot be stored for very long. The authors state that to promote sustained consumer...
