In particular, riboflavin (vitamin B2) is responsible for driving photooxidation reactions that affect the flavour of many drinks and so they often have to be packaged in light-shielded containers. See also. (Science Daily)
Germans find 'molecular trap' to keep beer fresh Aug 5, 2009
The approach works by removing riboflavin, or vitamin B2, which causes changes to beer's flavour when exposed to light passing through the bottle. Scientists at the Technical University of Dortmund designed a polymer "trap" with tiny crevices that capture the riboflavin molecules. (BBC News -- Europe)

Light-emitting nanotube efficiency boosted Mar 10, 2009
One solution discovered by the team was a self-assembling material that displaces oxygen from the surface of the nanotubes, replacing it with a protective riboflavin-like (vitamin B2 derivative) coating that prevents further oxidation. "We have created a way to effectively take out the oxygen," said Papadimitrakopoulos. (EETimes)
UConn chemists find secret to increasing luminescence efficiency of carbon nanotubes Mar 7, 2009
e. carbon nanotube) but is rather formed by a chemical "sleeve" comprised of a synthetic derivative of flavin (an analog of vitamin B2) that adsorbs and self organizes onto a conformal tube ... Last year, Papadimitrakopoulos and Sang-Young Ju, along with other UConn researchers, patented a way to isolate certain carbon nanotubes from others by seamlessly wrapping a form of vitamin B2 around the nanotubes ... This provides an enormous repertoire for nanotube use in advanced fiber optics... (EurekAlert!)
Binding of PFOS to serum albumin and DNA: insight into themolecular toxicity of perfluorochemicals Feb 25, 2009
2 mmol/l PFOS reduces the binding ratio of Vitamin B2 to SA by more than 30 ... The non-covalent interactions of PFOS with SA and DNA alter their secondary conformations, with the physiological function of SA to transport Vitamin B2 being inhibited consequently. (BioMed Central)
