Message definition (Riboflavin)
Riboflavin was discovered in 1920, isolated in 1933, and first synthesized in 1935. In its purified, solid form, it is a water-soluble yellow-orange crystalline powder. In addition to its function as a vitamin, it is used as a [[food coloring|food coloring agent]]. Biosynthesis takes place in bacteria, fungi and plants, but not animals. Industrial synthesis of riboflavin was initially achieved using a chemical process, but current commercial manufacturing relies on [[Fermentation in food processing|fermentation]] methods using strains of [[fungus|fungi]] and [[Genetic engineering|genetically modified]] bacteria.
