Tag: Uv degradation

Studies have shown that thiamine (vitamin B1) is susceptible to degradation from various factors, including environmental chemicals and light. Proper storage is a crucial, yet often overlooked, step in ensuring you receive the full nutritional benefit from this essential vitamin.

According to extensive food science research, riboflavin, or vitamin B2, is remarkably sensitive to light, with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation being a primary cause of its destruction. This light sensitivity, known as photodegradation, has significant implications for how certain foods, especially milk, should be stored and packaged to retain their nutritional value.
