In addition to discontinuation of the NRTT, L-car-nitine, riboflavin, and thiamine have been used in isolated reports but with unclear fherapeutic role [106, 111-113] Many of these patients have been treated with high-dose intravenous sodium bicarbonate. Hemodialysis [114] and continuous venovenous hemodiafiltra-tion [85] have been used to reduce the lactic acidosis, even in the absence of significant kidney injury. Lactic acidosis transiently and modestly improved after administration of dichloroacetate in one report [99]. The benefit of any of these therapies remains unclear.

Some methods have been applied only to selected foods and their general validity has not been demonstrated, whereas other methods were successfully used with a wide variety of different food matrices (58-61,63). For simultaneous determination of riboflavin and thiamine in foods, various workers have proposed HPLC methods, which analyze riboflavin either as riboflavin or lumiflavin and thiamine as thiochrome by fluorescence detection. The thiochrome can be formed either before or after column separation, while lumiflavin was formed precolumn. A strong argument against the precolumn oxidation of thiamine to thiochrome is the fact that some of the riboflavin may be destroyed during the oxidation step in alkaline solution. Therefore, a state-of-the-art procedure for this special separation is the postcolumn derivatization of thiamine (see chapter on vitamin Bi). 

The effect of various commercially available enzyme preparation in the HPLC determination of riboflavin and thiamine in foods was studied by M. Hagg (57). Different enzymes (takadiastase, clara-diastase, a-amylase), as well as the same enzyme produced by different manufacturers, strongly affected the determination of both vitamins. The recoveries for different foods ranged from 85% to 100% for thiamine and from 80% to 100% for riboflavin. Huka clara-diastase (6%) was the best enzyme in the study. 

The majority of breakfast cereals in the United States are fortified with PN, and additional PN is also added to infant formula products to ensure adequate vitamin Be supply to the infant. Gregory (100) reported an isocratic HPLC method for the determination of PN in breakfast cereals (Table 5). Other investigators attempted simultaneous determination of PN and other vitamins used in food fortification. Wehling and Wetzel used ion pair HPLC to separate pyridoxine, riboflavin and thiamine from each other after acid extraction of the vitamins from cereals (101). Using a dual fluorescence detector setup, pyridoxine and riboflavin were monitored by the first detector. After the column eluate had passed the first detector, an alkaline ferricyanide solution was introduced, resulting in the formation of a fluorescent thiochrome derivative of thiamine, which was detected by the second fluorescence detector. A similar method for simultaneous determination of pyridoxine and riboflavin in infant formula products has also been described (102).

As shown in Fig. M-40, consumers obtain large proportions of their vitamin B-12, protein. Vitamin B-6, and iron from meat, poultry, and fish. Additionally, meat, poultry, and fish are fair sources of phosphorus, food energy, riboflavin, and thiamin. 

They are the major dietary source of vitamin B-12 and vitamin B-6, and they supply appreciable amounts of vitamin A, biotin, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, and thiamin.

Niacin is vital for energy release in tissues and cells. Working with riboflavin and thiamin, it helps to maintain healthy nervous and digestive systems. It is essential for growth and is involved in the synthesis of hormones. 

Moreover, the human GI tract is colonized by a vast array of microorganisms known as the gut microbiota that apart from its impact on different human functions plays a pivotal role in food digestion and energy recovery, while it can also act as an important supplier of vitamins. In humans, it has been shown that members of the gut microbiota are able to synthesize vitamin K as well as most of the water-soluble B vitamins, such as biotin, cobalamin, folates, nicotinic acid, panthotenic acid, pyridox-ine, riboflavin, and thiamine (Hill 1997). In contrast to dietary vitamins, which are absorbed in the...
