[Effect of the method of vitaminizing bread made from top-grade wheat flour on its thiamine, riboflavin and niacin content].

Preservation of thiamine, riboflavin and niacin was studied in bread baked either from best-grade wheat flour enriched with vitamins B1, B2 and PP at the mill, or after the vitamins were added to the dough at the bakery. It was established that during the bread baking the content of vitamins was decreased by 33.3-58.1% when the wheat flour was vitaminized at the mill, and by 17.0-38.7% when the vitamins were added to the dough at the bakery. The content of thiamine and niacin in the bread prepared from flour vitaminized at the mill conforms to the standards recommended by the Institute of Nutrition, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, for wholesale sorts of bread.
