Describe the Applications of vitamin b1

The steadily increasing consumption of white flours  (insufficiently ground and thus low in vitamin content) by large sections of the population involves the risk of vitamin B₁ deficiency. By fortification of white flours with chemically pure vitamins of the B group, the population may  retain its most important source of vitamin B.

Due to the manifold functions performed by vitamin B1 in the metabolism, inadequate supply is manifest by a number of deficiency symptoms. Vitamin B₁ hydrochloride is used for the preparation of drug formulations of all types, especially of oral drop solutions, drops, tablets and others and also for the vitamin fortification of foods.
