Types of vitamins

Definition
    Vitamin is an organic compound and an essential nutrient that an organism requires in limited amounts.
    An organic chemical compound is called a vitamin when the organism cannot synthesize the compound in sufficient quantities,and it must be obtained through the diet.
    Classification of vitamins

  • Water soluble: vitamins are the B-complex and vitamin C. They are easily flushed out the body.
  • Fat soluble:vitamins are A,D,E and K .They can be stored in the body.
Water soluble

  • Vitamins C (Acid Ascorbic )

      • Help to prevent scurvy
      • Help to cure lead toxicity

      There are eight B vitamin : all in all called B complex vitamin.

      They are thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic corrosive (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folate (B9) and cobalamin (B12).

      In spite of the fact that every one of these nutrients has extraordinary capacities, they by and large assistance your body produce vitality and make significant atoms in your cells .

      Beside B12, your body can't store these nutrients for significant stretches, so you need to recharge them consistently through nourishment .

      Numerous nourishments give B vitamins, however to be viewed as high in a nutrient, a nourishment must contain at any rate 20% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI) per serving. Then again, a nourishment that contains 10–19% of the RDI is viewed as a decent source

      Fat soluble
      Vitamin A:
      Vitamin A will be a gathering of unsaturated nourishing natural exacerbates that incorporates retinol, retinal, retinoic corrosive, and a few provitamin A carotenoids (most eminently beta-carotene).Vitamin A has various capacities: it is significant for development and improvement, for the upkeep of the invulnerable framework, and for good vision.It is required by the retina of the eye as retinal, which consolidates with protein opsin to shape rhodopsin, the light-retaining molecule fundamental for both low-light (scotopic vision) and shading vision.It An additionally capacities in a totally different job as retinoic corrosive (an irreversibly oxidized type of retinol), which is a significant hormone-like development factor for epithelial and different cellsImage result for Vitamin A
      Vitamin D :

      Presentation

      Vitamin D is a fat-dissolvable nutrient that is normally present in not many nourishments, added to other people, and accessible as a dietary enhancement. It is likewise created endogenously when bright beams from daylight strike the skin and trigger nutrient D amalgamation.Image result for vitamin d Vitamin D acquired from sun introduction, nourishment, and enhancements is naturally idle and should experience two hydroxylations in the body for initiation. The first happens in the liver and changes over nutrient D to 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], otherwise called calcidiol. The second happens basically in the kidney and structures the physiologically dynamic 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], otherwise called calcitriol.Image result for vitamin d

      Vitamin E:
      Vitamin E is a fundamental nutrient for good wellbeing, and it's found in a wide assortment of nourishments and enhancements.

      Vitamin  K is really a gathering of mixes. The most significant of these mixes has all the earmarks of being Vitamin  K1 and Vitamin t K2. Vitamin  K1 is gotten from verdant greens and some different vegetables. Vitamin  K2 is a gathering of mixes generally got from meats, cheeses, and eggs, and incorporated by microorganisms. Image result for vitamin k

      Vitamin  K1 is the principle type of Vitamin  K supplement accessible in the U.S.


      As of late, a few people have looked to Vitamin  K2 to treat osteoporosis and steroid-initiated bone misfortune, however the exploration is clashing. Now there isn't sufficient information to suggest utilizing Vitamin  K2 for osteoporosis.

      Simmons Citrate Agar biochemistry test for Enterobacteriaceae

      Simmons Citrate Agar Simmons Citrate Agar  is an agar medium used for the differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae based on the utilization of citrate as the sole source of carbon.  Ingredients per liter of deionized water: Principle of Simmons Citrate Agar Uses of Simmons Citrate Agar 1.     It is used for the differentiation of Gram-negative bacteria on the basis of citrate utilization. 2.     Simmons Citrate Agar may be used to differentiate citrate-positive  Salmonella enteritidis  and members of  Salmonella  subgenus II, III and IV from the citrate-negative  Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi  A,  Salmonella pullorum  and  Salmonella gallinarum . 3.     Simmons Citrate Agar is primarily used to aid in the identification of Enterobacteriaceae. Uses include: Escherichia coli ...

      Triple Sugar Iron Test

      The Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) Test  To determine the ability of an organism to ferment glucose, lactose, and sucrose, and their ability to produce hydrogen sulfide. Principle The Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) test is a microbiological test named for its ability to test a microorganism’s ability to ferment sugars and to produce hydrogen sulfide. An agar slant of a special medium with multiple sugars constituting a pH-sensitive dye (phenol red), 1% lactose, 1% sucrose, 0.1% glucose, as well as sodium thiosulfate and ferrous sulfate or ferrous ammonium sulfate is used for carrying out the test.  . Due to the building of acid during fermentation, the pH falls. The acid base indicator Phenol red. is incorporated for detecting carbohydrate fermentation that is indicated by the change in color of the carbohydrate medium from orange red to yellow in the pres...

      Simmons Citrate Test

      Simmons Citrate Reaction It  used to differentiate among the Gram-Negative bacilli in the family Enterobacteriaceae. Principle  Citrate agar is used to test an organism’s ability to utilize citrate as a source of energy. The medium contains  citrate  as the sole  carbon source  and  inorganic ammonium salts (NH4H2PO4)  as the sole source of  nitrogen . Bacteria that can grow on this medium produce an enzyme,  citrate-permease , capable of converting  citrate  to  pyruvate .  Pyruvate  can then enter the organism’s metabolic cycle for the production of  energy . Growth is indicative of utilization of citrate, an intermediate metabolite in the  Krebs cycle . When the bacteria metabolize  citrate , the  ammonium salts  are broken down to  ammonia , which increases  alkalinity . The shift in pH turns the...
