1.What is the Menadione ?

Vitamin K is a general term referring to a group of naphthoquinone derivatives required in the diet for blood clotting. Menadione is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for blood clotting. It is destroyed by irradiation during processing but has no appreciable loss during storage. It occurs in spinach, cabbage, liver, and wheat bran.

Vitamin K activity is associated with several quinones, including phylloquinone (vitamin K1), menadione (vitamin K3), and a variety of menaquinones (vitamin K2). These quinones promote the synthesis of proteins that are involved in the coagulation of blood.These proteins include prothrombin, factor VII (proconvertin), factor IX (plasma thromboplastin). The vitamin K quinones are obtained from three major sources.Vitamin K is present in various plants, especially green vegetables. The menaquinones that possess vitamin K2 activity are synthesized by bacteria, particularly gram-positive organisms; the bacteria in the gut of animals produce useful quantities of this vitamin.Vitamin K3 is a chemically synthesized quinone that possesses the same activity as vitamin K1.

Menadione is precursor to verious types of Vitamin K. It is of industrial importance as an intermediate in the synthesis of phylloquinone, and salts of its bisulfite adduct are used as stabilized forms in the animal feed industry. Commercially significant forms are menadione sodium bisulfite and menadione dimethyl pyrimidinol. Used as a micronutrient for livestock and pet foods.
