 In ancient days vitamins are known as
vitamines i.e viatal amino acids.
 But later they realised that all the vitamins
are not aminoacids.
 Some vitamins are amino acids but all the
amino acids are not viatamins.

3.  Each vitamin has its own significant historical
background.
 H.J. funk has coined the term vitamns.
 Even though vitamins are very less in
requirement but they play very significant
role in our body growth , and regulation of
different metabolic functions.

4. Introduction
 Vitamins are the organic compounds which
enhance the metabolism of
protiens, carbohydrates and fats.
 Without vitamins the breakdown of food
could not occur.
 Certain vitamins are participate in the
formation of blood cells hormones nervous
system and genetic material

5. Classification of vitamins
 Based on the solubility…. Vitamins are
devided into two types.
 # fat soluble
 # water soluble

7. WATER SOLUBLE VITAMINS
 These are the vitamins, which are soluble In
the water and almost all the water soluble
vitamins are available in water based food
materials(source)
 The vitamins are
 Vitamin-B
 Vitamin-C

8. Fat soluble vitamins
 All the fat soluble vitamins are available in fat
containing food materials and some
