Vegetable Foods and Vitamin Bl2

Abstract

Although it is considered that vitamin B12 and its analogues are not contained in vegetable foods as are they often called “Animal Protein Factor”, it was found that vitamin B12 group was contained in such vegetables grown in the mud as arrow head (Sagittaria sagittifolia L. var. sinensis Makino), Lotus-rhizome (Rhizome of Nelumbo nucífera), Brasenia sehr ebeti, and also in bamboo sprout grown in the soil, but these amounts were not so much. © 1964, Japanese Society for Food Hygiene and Safety.
