White rice sold in Hawaii, Guam, and Saipan often lacks nutrient enrichment.

29 Sep 2009 Rice is a commonly consumed food staple for many Asian and Pacific cultures thus, nutrient enrichment of rice has the potential to increase nutrient intakes for these populations. The objective of this study was to determine the levels of enrichment ... Read more...

Intake of vitamins among clinically healthy adults from continental Croatia estimated by 24-h recall.

30 Aug 2008 The role of vitamins in nutrition of the Croatian population is still underestimated and insufficiently investigated although they have important protective effects in human health. The aim of this research was to examine vitamin A, thiamine, ... Read more...

Thin-layer chromatography-densitometric measurements for determination of N-(hydroxymethyl)nicotinamide in tablets and stability evaluation in solutions.

30 Aug 2008 A thin-layer chromatography (TLC)-densitometric method was developed to determine N-(hydroxymethyl)nicotinamide in tablets and basic solutions along with nicotinic acid. Analysis was performed on silica gel F254 plates using chloroform-ethanol (2 + ... Read more...
