Do One Saving Vitamins
Vitamins that are stored in a closet, Khasiatnya be lost because the humid environment. Even vitamins are stored in tightly sealed bottles decreased efficacy.
This was disclosed by a team of researchers from Purdue University, the United States and published in “Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry”. Researchers found that the crystalline substance contained in the supplements of vitamin C and some B vitamins and vulnerable to a process of change is called deliquescence. This means that at high humidity levels such as in the kitchen and bathroom, important nutrients found in vitamins can be dissolved into the air.
“Signs can be seen on the deliquescence of salt or sugar is starting to clot,” said Lisa Mauer, one of the researchers.
According to Lisa, who is a professor of nutrition at Purdue University, where the supplement should be very dry. Although sealed packaging, the risk of degradation of nutrients can occur.
“Deliquescence process can cause chemical instability in a vitamin supplement products. This triggers affecting evaporation-quality products,” explained Lisa.
He also added if there are spots on vitamin supplements should not be consumed and waste. Because, it is a sign that the supplements had no benefits and no security.
