Haşlama ve Kızartma Yöntemleri Uygulanan Tavuk Etlerindeki Vitamin B1, B2 ve B3 Pişirme Kayıplarının Belirlenmesi.

In the developing world, protein-containing foods are gaining importance as healthy food. Chicken meats are low-cost protein sources worldwide and are rich in water-soluble B group vitamins. Therefore, from a nutritional point of view, primary data on the vitamin composition of these thermally processed foods are required. In our country, boiled and fried chicken meats are frequently consumed. However, there is insufficient data on the loss of vitamins in meats through cooking. This study aimed to determine the vitamin B1, B2, and B3 levels of selected chicken parts using two different cooking techniques, boiled and fried, and evaluate the cooking losses of these vitamins in chicken meat. Vitamin B1, B2, and B3 contents in each raw and cooked chicken sample were determined by the HPLC device. All chicken meats' vitamin B1, B2, and B3 content were significantly decreased after boiling and frying (p<0.05). The boiling method's average cooking loss of vitamin B1, B2, total vitamin B3, nicotinic acid, and nicotinamide in chicken meats was 53%, 43%, 31%, 58%, and 18% respectively. By frying, it was 24%, 50%, 42%, 78% and 40%, respectively. The nicotinamide content of all samples was considerably higher than nicotinic acid. The highest cooking losses were determined in nicotinic acid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
