The Effect of Processing 



on Vitamins in 



Fruits and Vegetables 



A Review 



By G. R. Fellers 



Among the food constituents necessary for life are the vitamins. 

 This bulletin reviews the vast amount of research being conducted 

 on the occurrence and stability of the vitamins in foods. By the 

 application of certain principles and practices in the distribution and 

 processing of fruit and vegetable products, the several vitamins may 

 be better conserved in the interest of a more adequate diet and im- 

 proved health.
