Aerobic organisms need antioxidant defense systems to deal with free radicals which either
are produced during aerobic respiration or may have an external origin. Oxidative stress …

Riboflavin (RF), also known as vitamin B 2, belongs to the class of water-soluble vitamins
and is widely present in a variety of food products. It is sensitive to light and high …

Although the general mechanisms of lipid oxidation are known, the chemical steps through
which photosensitizers and light permeabilize lipid membranes are still poorly understood …

Riboflavin, vitamin B2, and flavins (as riboflavin building blocks or degradation products) are
efficient photosensitizers inducing oxidative damage to light-exposed tissue and food by …

Since the early twentieth century, research on vitamins has revealed their therapeutic
potential beyond their role as essential micronutrients. Riboflavin, known as vitamin B2 …

Optical and electronic properties of carotenoids as also reflected in their colors have been
fine-tuned through evolution, resulting in a structural diversity important for carotenoid …

Flavonoids, which are ubiquitously present in the plant kingdom, preserve food and
beverages at the parts per million level with minor perturbation of sensory impressions …

Dairy products are a suitable group for polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) fortification, but are
