Question

Milk , cheese and Eggs are the source of which vitamins?

Answer 1

Hint: Vitamins are organic compounds that people require in small amounts. Most vitamins must be obtained from food because the body either does not produce them or produces only a small amount. Each organism requires a different set of vitamins.

Complete answer:
A vitamin is an organic molecule that is an essential micronutrient that an organism requires in small amounts for proper metabolism function. Essential nutrients cannot be synthesised in the body, either entirely or in sufficient quantities, and must therefore be obtained through diet.

Milk: Milk contains the water-soluble vitamins thiamin (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), cobalamin (vitamin B12), vitamin C, and folate. Milk is high in thiamin, riboflavin, and vitamin B12. Milk contains trace amounts of niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and folate but is not considered a major source of these vitamins in diet.

Milk is high in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The level of fat soluble vitamins in dairy products is determined by the product's fat content. To be nutritionally equivalent to whole milk, reduced fat (2 percent fat), lowfat (1 percent fat), and skim milk must be fortified with vitamin A. All milk is fortified with vitamin D on a voluntary basis. Milk contains trace amounts of vitamins E and K and is not considered as a source of vitamins in the diet.

Light exposure reduces the riboflavin and vitamin A content of milk. To maximise vitamin retention, milk should be stored in containers that provide light barriers (opaque plastic or paperboard).

Cheese: Cheese contains a variety of vitamins, including vitamins A, B2, B6, B12, D, and K.
Vitamin A aids in the function of the immune system and the health of the eyes; vitamin B2 aids in the health of the skin, eyes, and nervous system; and vitamin B6 aids in the formation of haemoglobin.
Vitamin B12 is required for the production of red blood cells; vitamin D aids in the regulation of calcium in the body; and vitamin K is required for blood clotting, which aids in the healing of wounds.

Eggs are high in vitamins. Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, aids in the release of energy from our food for our bodies to use.

Vitamin B12 is essential for brain and nervous system function as well as blood formation. Vitamin A is essential for growth and eye health. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects our bodies from disease.

Note: Vitamin deficiency anaemia is characterised by a lack of healthy red blood cells caused by a deficiency of certain vitamins. Folate, vitamin B-12, and vitamin C have all been linked to vitamin deficiency anaemia.
