Pantothenic acid - is a component of coenzyme A. which conditions many basic system syntheses and changes related to energy management. Pantothenic acid deficiency causes many pathological changes (experimentally found on animals). Among other things, the synthesis of steroid hormones of the adrenal cortex is inhibited and necrotizing cells are created in it, impaired antibodies, etc.. Pantothenic acid is widespread in nature, It contains large amounts of full milling flour. Pantothenic acid is largely damaged due to processing and culinary processes, belongs to less durable B vitamins. Losses in the process of preparing dishes reach 20-40%. Daily needs are estimated in adults at 5-10 mg. Probably part of pantothenic acid comes from the synthesis of the gastrointestinal microflora.
