Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the discovery and characterization of accessory food factors, later commonly known as vitamins. At the beginning of the twentieth century, a shift began from classical feeding experiments and towards an understanding of the importance of food units other than protein, fat, carbohydrate, and mineral salts. This book chronicles early experiments which led to the groundbreaking discovery that certain dietary components, present in minute amounts, are nonetheless essential for growth and good health. The author discusses the identification and differentiation of two accessory factors: fat-soluble A and water-soluble B. This book provides a thorough analysis of the physiological significance and distribution of these factors in natural foodstuffs. The author concludes by emphasizing the profound impact of these discoveries on our understanding of human nutrition and the importance of a balanced diet.
