Nicotinic Acid Content of Meat and Meat Products

Abstract
Nicotinic acid content of meats was determined by the cyanogen bromide-aniline method. Liver and kidney were the richest sources of nicotinic acid. The average value for liver was 18 mg. per 100 gm. of fresh tissue. All animal tissue contains a significant amount of nicotinic acid. Cooking and commercial processing caused some loss of the vitamin.
