Date: September 17, 2006 09:00AM If you heat something that contain b-vitamins at 300 degrees Farenheit, will they all be intact?
Or will some of them be destroyed in the owen? Re: heating b-vitamins

Date: September 17, 2006 10:23AM I think you lose more folate than any other thing in the B family. Here is the USDA data for sweet potato:
sweet potato raw, 100 g kcal 86 thiamin 0.1 mg riboflavin 0.1 mg niacin 0.6 mg b6 0.2 mg folate 11 mcg pantothenic acid 0.8 mg sweet potato baked, 100 g kcal 90 thiamin 0.1 mg riboflavin 0.1 mg niacin 1.5 mg b6 0.3 mg folate 6 mcg pantothenic acid 0.9 mg But USDA fudges the cooked data; they actually measure the nutrient data for raw foods and then they use fudge factors to approximate losses for cooking. You might have to see another source, such as Souci if you want a better answer and that would also depend on the particular food type. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
