Pantothenic Acid Analysis Service

Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin found abundantly in foods like meat, whole grains, legumes, eggs, and vegetables. In the body, it converts to coenzyme A (CoA), essential for energy metabolism. Pantothenic acid is vital for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, and it is necessary for synthesizing fatty acids, cholesterol, hormones, and neurotransmitters. It also supports skin health, promotes wound healing, and boosts immune function. Given its multiple roles and health benefits, analyzing pantothenic acid quantitatively and qualitatively is crucial in food science, nutrition, and medical research.
