Summary
-
1.
The changes in vitamin B1 content of groundnut during germination were studied.
-
2.
There is decrease in total vitamin B1 content as the germination advances.
-
3.
The “bound form” of vitamin B1 is rendered free during germination.
-
4.
The probable causes for the decrease in vitamin B1 and the mechanism of transformation of “bound vitamin B1” into free form during germination are discussed.
