Abstract:Objective: The aim of this study was to detect the content of vitamin B12(VB12) in some common non meat foods. Methods: The content of VB12 in five kinds of mushroom, caged and free-range hen eggs, and 16 kinds of fermented soybean products were determined by the method of Lactobacillus leishmanii ATCC 7830. Results: All five kinds of fungi contain a certain amount of VB12, of which the content of Lentinus edodes was the highest, it was 1.1 μg/kg. The VB12 contents of Hericium erinaceus, Agaricus bisporus and Flammulina velutipes were 0.43, 0.22 μg/kg and 0.13 μg/kg, respectively, while the Tremella fuciformis had the lowest content at 0.12 μg/kg. The VB12 content of cage eggs and free-range eggs was 0.35 μg/kg and 0.44 μg/kg, respectively. The VB12 content of all fermented soybean products was lower than that of eggs. Homemade douche contains the highest concentration of VB12(2.15 μg/kg) and the lowest soy sauce (0.11 μg/kg). Conclusion: Mushrooms and eggs are the best sources of VB12 for all meat restricted populations.
