thiamine(1+)
Molecular structure
Cooking relevance
Thiamine (vitamin B1, PubChem CID 1130) is a water-soluble compound naturally present in many foods. In culinary contexts, thiamine is notable as a heat-sensitive nutrient that degrades during cooking, particularly in alkaline conditions. Its presence in whole grains, legumes, and meat products contributes to their nutritional profile, though it plays no direct role in flavor, aroma, or texture development during food preparation.
