Popular questions
What does riboflavin do?
In the body, riboflavin (vitamin B2) helps enzymes produce energy (as FMN and FAD) and supports normal skin and vision. In foods, E101 is used as a yellow color and to fortify products with B2.
What does vitamin b2 do?
Vitamin B2 serves as the coenzymes FMN and FAD in energy metabolism and redox reactions. As E101 in foods, it also functions as a yellow colorant and nutrient fortifier.
What is vitamin b2 good for?
It supports energy release from food and helps maintain healthy skin, mouth, and vision. In foods, E101 is used to add yellow color and to enrich products with vitamin B2.
What is riboflavin good for?
Riboflavin is good for energy production and cellular respiration, helping keep skin and vision healthy. As an additive (E101), it provides yellow color and enables vitamin B2 fortification.
What foods have riboflavin?
Dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese), eggs, meats (especially liver), fish, green vegetables (e.g., spinach, broccoli), mushrooms, almonds, and fortified breads and cereals.
What foods have carotenoids?
Brightly colored fruits and vegetables—carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, tomatoes, red/orange peppers, spinach, kale, corn, mangoes, apricots—naturally contain carotenoids; egg yolks and dairy have smaller amounts.
What is the ul for carotenoids?
No tolerable upper intake level is set for total carotenoids from foods; specific E160 colorants have ADIs (e.g., lycopene E160d: 0.5 mg/kg body weight/day by EFSA), and high-dose beta-carotene supplements are not advised for smokers.
What are carotenoids in photosynthesis?
They are accessory pigments that broaden light harvesting (mainly in the blue–green range) and protect photosystems by quenching singlet oxygen and dissipating excess energy (photoprotection).
What foods are high in carotenoids?
Top sources include carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, spinach, kale, collards, tomatoes and tomato products, red/orange peppers, mango, papaya, apricots, cantaloupe, and corn.
What foods contain carotenoids?
