Vitamin B1 / Thiamine

Function:

1. Core Physiological Functions

Thiamine combines with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to form thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) , also known as cocarboxylase, which is an essential coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism. Its key functions include:

• Energy Metabolism: Serves as an essential cofactor for five enzymes involved in glucose, amino acid, and lipid metabolism-34-35. Thiamine helps the body's cells convert food into energy.
• Maintains Normal Nervous System Function: Essential for nerve impulse transmission.
• Maintains Normal Heart Function: Plays an important role in myocardial function.
• Maintains Normal Gastrointestinal Function: Promotes gastrointestinal motility and increases appetite.
• Inhibits Cholinesterase Activity: Deficiency leads to increased cholinesterase activity, accelerated acetylcholine hydrolysis, and impaired nerve impulse transmission.

2. Deficiency Diseases

Thiamine deficiency can lead to:

Beriberi: Divided into dry beriberi (primarily neurological symptoms) and wet beriberi (primarily cardiovascular symptoms).

Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome: Commonly seen in alcoholics and malnourished individuals.

Early symptoms include: fatigue, irritability, poor memory, loss of appetite, sleep disturbances, abdominal discomfort, and weight loss-

Digestive disorders, neuritis, etc.

3. Safety

Thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin. Excessive intake is generally not a concern as excess thiamine is excreted in urine-. Thiamine has limited storage in the body and a short half-life, requiring continuous dietary supply.

Application:

• Food Industry (Nutritional Fortifier)
