Vitamin drops

Emulsion formed from vitamins and/or carotenoids, gelatins (pH 2 to 4.6), saccharose, starch, and water emulsion drops are added to powder of starch to form microparticulates by heat treatment at 120 to 170 C to give powder... 

The ITIES with an adsorbed monolayer of surfactant has been studied as a model system of the interface between microphases in a bicontinuous microemulsion [39]. This latter system has important applications in electrochemical synthesis and catalysis [88-92]. Quantitative measurements of the kinetics of electrochemical processes in microemulsions are difficult to perform directly, due to uncertainties in the area over which the organic and aqueous reactants contact. The SECM feedback mode allowed the rate of catalytic reduction of tra 5-l,2-dibromocyclohexane in benzonitrile by the Co(I) form of vitamin B12, generated electrochemically in an aqueous phase to be measured as a function of interfacial potential drop and adsorbed surfactants [39]. It was found that the reaction at the ITIES could not be interpreted as a simple second-order process. In the absence of surfactant at the ITIES the overall rate of the interfacial reaction was virtually independent of the potential drop across the interface and a similar rate constant was obtained when a cationic surfactant (didodecyldimethylammonium bromide) was adsorbed at the ITIES. In contrast a threefold decrease in the rate constant was observed when an anionic surfactant (dihexadecyl phosphate) was used. 

Blood of normal subjects was obtained from an antecubital vein, diluted 1 5 with pH 4.5 buffer,2 and autoclaved 30 minutes to convert bound cobalamin into its microbiologically active form serum was treated like blood. This procedure allowed estimation of total vitamin Bi2. For the subsequent inoculation of specimens (a) E. coli as a loopful from nutrient agar suspended in 25 ml of medium, (b) L. leichmannii, an 18-hour culture diluted 1 10 in basal medium, (c) E. gracilis, strain Z, and (d) O. malhamensis are inoculated directly from a 5-day culture grown in liquid maintenance medium. One drop into a culture flask served as inoculum. The bacteria required 18-hours for full growth protozoa, 4-5 days. 

OO A chemist adds a few drops of deep violet-red iodine solution to a vitamin C tablet. The iodine solution quickly becomes colourless. Then the chemist adds a solution that contains chlorine, CI2. The chemist observes that the violet-red colour of the iodine reappears. Explain the chemist s observations, in terms of redox reactions.

Pregnancy Category C. Do not administer ascorbic acid to pregnant women in excess of the amount needed for treatment. The possibility of the fetus adapting to high levels of the vitamin could result in a scorbutic condition after birth when the intake drops to normal levels. This action is controversial. 

The therapy of atrophic rhinitis by means of vitamin A-containing nose drops showed that high-dose topical application of the vitamin leads to the restitution of mefaplastically modified nasal mucosa, side effects, especially differentiation impairments, were not reported (Breuninger and Kahn, 1960 Duncan and Briggs, 1962).
