Modern Analytical Methodologies in Fat- and Water-Soluble Vitamins

This self-contained book provides modern and practical analytical methodologies for the assays in foods, pharmaceuticals and clinical samples. It covers the fat-soluble Vitamins: A, beta-carotene, D, E and K as well as the water soluble vitamins, C, folate, thiamin, biotin, pyridoxin and cyancobalims.Moderne, praxisnahe analytische Methoden für die Bestimmung von Vitaminen in Nahrungsmitteln, Arzneimitteln und klinischen Proben erläutert Ihnen dieser Band. Jedes der von ausgewiesenen Fachleuten verfaßten Kapitel enthält Originalverfahren sowie die erwarteten Normalwerte. Für jedes Vitamin wird die Extraktion, Probenpräparation und chromatographische Trennung ausführlich beschrieben. Nicht zuletzt werden auch der Vitaminstoffwechsel und die biochemische Bedeutung der Substanzen besprochen. (04/00) FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS.
