1 Significance and sources of biotin
Domina Petric, MD

2 Significance A key feature of biotin metabolism is that it is recycled by proteolytic cleavage from the four biotinyl carboxylases by the enzyme biotinidase. This recycling, and the prevalent hind gut microbial synthesis of the vitamin, allow quantitative dietary requirements for biotin to be relatively small. November 24, 2018 Combs GF. The Vitamins.

3 Distribution in foods Most foods contain the vitamin as free biotin and as biocytin. Biocytin is biotin covalently bound to protein lysyl residues. November 24, 2018 Combs GF. The Vitamins. Fundamental Aspects in Nutrition and Health. Elsevier Inc

10 Stability Biotin is unstable to oxidizing conditions and is destroyed by heat, especially under conditions that support simultaneous lipid peroxidation. Such processing techniques as the canning of foods can result in substantial losses of biotin. These losses can be reduced by the use of an antioxidant: vitamin C, vitamin E, butylated hydroxytoluene [BHT], butylated hydroxyanisole [BHA]. November 24, 2018 Combs GF. The Vitamins.

11 Synthesis by intestinal microflora
Total fecal excretion of biotin exceeds the amount consumed in the diet. This is due to the biosynthesis of significant amounts of biotin by the microflora of the proximal colon. November 24, 2018 Combs GF. The Vitamins. Fundamental Aspects in Nutrition and Health. Elsevier Inc
