Pantothenic acid content of 75 processed and cooked foods. 1981

J H Walsh, and B W Wyse, and R G Hansen

Seventy-five foods in a ready-to-eat state were analyzed for pantothenic acid using a new radioimmunoassay. Meats, potatoes, oat cereals, tomato products, and whole grains were among the better sources of pantothenic acid, supplying from 2 to 9 mg. per 1,000 kcal. Fruit products and corn-based and presweetened cereals were among the poorest sources of the vitamin. Results of the study suggest a need for careful selection of foods for pantothenic acid content by individuals on a low-energy diet.
