Description Colour additive in food, nutrient supplement. Vitamin cofactor._x000D_ _x000D_ Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2 or additive E101, is an easily absorbed micronutrient with a key role in maintaining health in humans and animals. It is the central component of the cofactors FAD and FMN, and is therefore required by all flavoproteins. As such, vitamin B2 is required for a wide variety of cellular processes. It plays a key role in energy metabolism, and for the metabolism of fats, ketone bodies, carbohydrates, and proteins. Riboflavine is found in many foods, some of which are chinese cabbage, peppermint, cuttlefish, and unclassified food or beverage.
