Question

Short Answers questions:
a) Which vitamin is easily destroyed during cooking?
b) Fibre cannot be digested by the body, then why don't we eliminate it from the food?​

Answer 1

a)Vitamin C is a water-soluble and temperature-sensitive vitamin, so is easily degraded during cooking, and elevated temperatures and long cooking times have been found to cause particularly severe losses of vitamin C

b)Since we do not digest it, the fiber in food passes into the intestine and absorbs water. The undigested fiber creates "bulk" so the muscles in the intestine can push waste out of the body. Eating enough fiber helps prevent constipation.

Answer 2

Answer:

a) Vitamin C

b) Dietary fiber, also known as roughage or bulk, includes the parts of plant foods your body can't digest or absorb. Unlike other food components, such as fats, proteins or carbohydrates — which your body breaks down and absorbs — fiber isn't digested by your body.
