Abstract
FATTY acid esters of riboflavin, fat-soluble riboflavin derivatives, have been synthesized in our laboratory to widen the application of riboflavin to pharmaceutical and nutritional fields1–3. As a fundamental problem of this application, the possibility of enzymic hydrolysis of these esters to riboflavin and fatty-acids has to be investigated first. This communication deals briefly with their hydrolysis in vitro by pancreatic lipase.
