Practical applications

Riboflavin is added to baby foods, breakfast cereals, pastas, and vitamin-enriched meal replacement products. It is difficult to incorporate riboflavin into liquid products because it has poor solubility in water, hence the requirement for riboflavin-5′-phosphate, a more soluble form of riboflavin . Riboflavin is also used as a food coloring . Riboflavin , coenzymic FMN and FAD (Flavin mono- and dinucleotide), preparations are used in medical practice in a variety of formulations. They are used clinically in treating hyporiboflavinosis and in the medication of skin and eye diseases caused not by riboflavin deficiency but rather by an excessive riboflavin requirement: in treating dermatitides (skin inflammation ), poorly healable wounds and ulcers, keratitis (inflammation of the cornea), and conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva). In addition, they are applied in treating intoxication by respiratory poisons (carbon monoxide CO), in the medication of affected liver, for muscular alleviation after prolonged physical exertion, etc.
